You work for a local geriatrics office and will be writing the monthly newsletter article that all doctors and their elderly patients receive. A geriatrics office is one that specializes in care for the elderly. What is the educational level, age and economic status of the audience I want to reach?

When you are writing for a geriatrics office you will want to write for an audience of someone 45 years and older. Even though 45 is not considered elderly, many people this age do get issues that they must see a geriatric doctor for. The education level would be for someone with a high school education or GED. The economic status of the people you are reaching will vary. Some people will be high living while others could be very poor. You will want to write about the healthcare that the patients may receive and laws about HIPPA.
