Abstract	Ageist attitudes toward older adults have been recognized as barriers to recruiting and training competent social workers. This article provides a systematic review of the literature that focused on social workers' and social work students' attitudes toward older adults and working with older adults. The authors sought empirical studies that used an attitudinal measure of ageism with a social work sample, and a total of 20 articles met the criteria. Characteristics of the studies' participants, methodology, instruments, and results were evaluated. This article discusses the findings and offers implications for future research. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
