Mental Health Services and Older Adult Minorities: An Assessment.

Fellin, Phillip A; Powell, Thomas J.

Gerontologist, v28 n4 p442-47 Aug 1988

After efforts to improve mental health services for older adults, services to older adult minorities were compared with services to non-minority counterparts by questioning aging specialists (N=72). Found although aging specialists perceived substantial growth in services, mental health services for ethnic minority adults showed a lower rate of growth. (Author/ABL)
