We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lance Dingman, a cherished member of our community. Lance brought wisdom, warmth, and generosity to every conversation. He made a lasting impact, offering insight that challenged, inspired, and grounded us. Lance was also a tireless advocate for mental health, accessible housing and disability rights. His lived experience shaped and strengthened our work in lasting ways, and his advocacy left a meaningful legacy beyond the Collaborative. We are grateful to have known him, and he will be dearly missed. Here is an interview with Lance we proudly shared during his time with us: collaborative-aging.mcmaster.ca/about-us/our-m… His words will always stay with us.

What happens when statistical trial results and lived experiences tell different stories? A new paper led by @ACHRU_McMaster explores the value of combining quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate a lifestyle intervention for older adults with diabetes and other chronic conditions. Despite no statistically significant quantitative findings, interviews with patients, caregivers, and providers revealed meaningful changes: ✔️ stronger team collaboration ✔️ improved system navigation ✔️ more person-centered care ✔️ improved self-management of chronic conditions ✔️ increased potential for virtual delivery of care By integrating lived experience with statistical findings, the paper demonstrates how mixed methods can clarify next steps for research, care delivery, and policy.
