| Annotation | Longitudinal data from the California State Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Center Program (ADDTC) were analysed to determine what factors, including ADDTC staff recommendations for service use, influence utilisation of adult day care services by individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The records of 737 clients were examined from 1988 to 1992 to determine predictors of client service utilisation, including client predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics, caregiver characteristics, and community characteristics. Results of logistic regression analyses indicate that ADDTC staff recommendations and previous use of adult day care services were significantly related to use of such services. Other characteristics were not significantly related to service use. (AKM). |
