AnnotationAs the proportion of older people from diverse ethnicities increases in the US, there are more calls for culturally sensitive health care service strategies that target their special needs. This report describes qualitative research methods and the outcome of such approaches with a group of well, older Mandarin-speaking Chinese residents of Los Angeles. Also presented are the outcomes of a pilot experiment that are consistent with the notion that the adapted programme was effective in reducing health-related declines in older Mandarin-speaking men and women. The overall outcome of this project is in agreement with other reports on the value of providing culturally sensitive health care services. (RH).
