| Annotation | The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of demographic, social, environmental, and health indicators on utilisation of community-based services among black and white older women. Existing data from a regional Area Agency on Aging was used and the sample included rural and low income women. Black and white women differed in use, and services most frequently used were case management, outreach, congregate meal, and home delivered meals. Multiple linear and logistic regression indicated that age, payment source, income adequacy, residence, health conditions, sensory impairment, and function were associated with the number and types of services used, but these differed between black and white older women.
