Service Utilization and Activity Participation among Psychologially Vulnerable and Well Elderly in Rural Small Towns.

Windley, Paul G.; Scheidt, Rick J.

Gerontologist, v23 n3 p283-87 Jun 1983

Presented utilization profiles for community services and activities for psychologically vulnerable (N=59) and well (N=643) elderly residents of small towns. The vulnerable group walked and rode with others more often. Few significant differences were found on frequency of service use, but the well group participated in activities more often.
