BSW and MSW students randomly completed one of two vignettes that were identical with the exception of the age of the vignette's subject. Following the vignette, respondents responded to 16 bio-psycho-social assessment and intervention items relating to health, illness, aging, and death. The multivariate analysis of variance was significant (F=1222.587, p=.000) by the Wilk's Lambda Criterion. Tests of between-subjects effects yielded eight significant item variables; including the likelihood of recovery, perceptions of the subject having lived long-enough, the appropriateness of ending one's life, and whether the subject should receive psychotherapy.
