Gaylord White Project, Operational Stage. Final Report.
Marshall, Carter L.; And Others
The Gaylord White Project, a pilot program in the use of television to promote the health and well-being of the elderly, used bi-directional cable television to deliver programs to the residents of a low-income, East Harlem housing project for the aged. For 15 months, health education and community information messages were delivered to investigate the use of: (1) demonstration television program modules; (2) physicians as communicators with lay audiences; and (3) peer communication in affecting social well-being. Evaluative research investigated the viewing habits and attitudinal changes of the participants. This report summarizes the planning, operation, technology, and research findings of the project.
