| Annotation | Adult day programmes have experienced growth in the last few decades. Accompanying this growth one would anticipate an expanded body of knowledge to assist programme managers and policy makers in designing and improving adult day programme service delivery. This article examines the amount and type of adult day programmes research conducted between 1980 and 1993 in 16 well established journals in social gerontology. The examination revealed that research on adult day programmes comprised less than one percent of all journal articles. Articles covering adult day support were eight times more likely than those addressing day hospital topics. Articles in practitioner-oriented journals were the most prevalent. The most frequently occurring topic in the literature was client characteristics followed by special programming, respite care/caregiver support, programme activities and comparative studies.
