Dr. Yaolin Pei is a gerontologist who studies how social psychological factors affect end-of-life decision-making and end-of-life outcomes. For example, how family relationships influence older adults’ end-of-life decision making. She develops culturally adapted educational tools and interventions that facilitate end-of-life decision making, especially for Chinese American dementia caregivers. Her goal is to improve the quality of end-of-life care quality in older adults, especially in Asian older adults.
