| Annotation | The authors describe a case control study, to test the hypothesis that older people receiving home help have higher levels of unmet health needs than those not receiving home help and constitute an 'at risk' group. The study showed that people receiving home help services had higher levels of unmet health needs than those in the control group not receiving home help, when assessed by a specialist health visitor. Using the home help register is a valuable method of identifying a group of individuals with significant unmet health needs. |
