| Annotation | The purpose of this study is to describe health care needs and service utilization among institutionalised women. The sample was dichotomised by length of stay to determine how African American, Native American, Asian/Pacific Islander and Hispanic/Latino women differed at two points in time. Data for this study came from the Current Resident Survey of the 1999 National Nursing Home Survey. The findings suggest that Native American women are the most impaired. Additionally, very few women received mental health services despite their extensive need. (KJ). |
