| Annotation | This study reports the results of an evaluation of a state Medicaid waiver programme for support services. The study sample consisted of 775 older people living in the 63 rural counties of Arkansas and enrolled in a Medicaid waiver programme for support services. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the combination of being African American and living in rural counties with smaller populations combined with non-adjacency to metropolitan areas were associated with a lower likelihood of being eligible for in-home respite care.
