AnnotationThis study uses Anderson's model of health care utilisation to examine differences between two models of delivering community based services (CBS) in a pilot cost share programme: case management and service co-ordination. Service co-ordination and cost sharing are innovative, less costly approaches in providing CBS than is the traditional case management approach provided under the Older American's Act. Logistic regression revealed that older people were more likely to receive a service co-ordinator if they had fewer activity of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL) impairments, no caregiver, and were living alone. Thus clients received service co-ordination or case management based on their level of need. (RH).
