This study is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and jointly led by the University of
Regina, the Centre for Innovation and Research in Aging and NB Seniors’ Advocate.

The project timeline involves:

1. Developing the OPRIF indicators and collecting relevant data sets,

2. Creating the online portal with web developers and stakeholders, and

3. Evaluating the implementation of the portal with partner agencies and older
adults.

Methodology

The OPRIF is expected to improve access and searchability, allowing for
real-time updates of data sets. This will streamline the process for decision-
makers, stakeholders, governments, and NGOs to access vital information.
As a result, they will be better equipped to uphold the human rights of older
adults while developing, implementing, and evaluating policies, programs,
and practices.

Expected Results/Findings

The objective of this Public Health Agency of Canada project is to develop,
implement, and evaluate a web-based Older Person's Human Rights
Indicator Framework (OPRIF) data repository. This tool will provide up-to-
date, de-identified, and customizable data on the human rights of older
persons in Canada’s official languages. The online portal will support
knowledge translation and monitoring of the rights of older persons.

Objective

There is an increasing demand in Canada for tools that help track and
protect the rights of older adults. The new Older Person's Human Rights
Indicator Framework (OPRIF) data repository will be the first of its kind,
providing communities with customizable, bilingual data to ensure that
the rights of older individuals are recognized, monitored, and upheld.

Introduction

Implementation of the OPRIF will:


  1. Emphasize the importance of dynamic, accessible, and customizable data
    repositories.

  2. Advance the human rights of older adults in Canada.

  3. Provide a valuable resource for baseline human rights data on older adults.

a web-based human rights indicator data
repository on older adults: an intersectoral
approach

Nearly 1 in 5 older adults in Canada report facing age-based discrimination, a figure likely to increase as the population ages.
The Older Person's Human Rights Indicator Framework (OPRIF) data repository aims to combat this by providing real-time,
evidence-based insights to support the protection and promotion of older adults' rights across the country.
