Silverstein, Nina Melnick
Gerontologist, v24 n1 p37-40 Feb 1984
Examined the relationship between sources of information and service utilization, based on household interviews of 706 older adults. Information about services obtained through formal sources was the best predictor of service utilization. Most respondents, however, learned of services primarily through the media or through informal sources. (Author/JAC)
