AnnotationThe interest in preventive approaches to the health problems of older people has increased substantially in recent years, partly in response to escalating health care costs. The present paper involves a critical examination of the potential usefulness of preventive home visits in the Canadian context in the light of demonstration projects in the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands. The paper concludes with recommendations for Canadian research on the use of preventive home visits. (RH).
