The Rural Information Center (RIC) is a joint project of the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education & Extension Service and the National Agricultural Library (NAL). RIC provides information and referral services to local government officials, community organizations, health professionals and organizations, cooperatives, libraries, businesses, and rural citizens working to maintain the vitality of America's rural areas. The Center combines the technical, subject-matter expertise of Extension's nationwide educational network with the information specialists and resources of the world's foremost agricultural library.
The Office of Rural Health Policy in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the NAL jointly created a Rural Information Center Health Service (RICHS) as part of the RIC. RICHS collects and disseminates information on rural health issues, research findings related to rural health, and innovative approaches to the delivery of rural health care services.

Abstract: Increased numbers of primary care and advanced practice nurses with unique generalist skills will be required to meet the accelerating physiologic and sociocultural health care needs of rural population. Several factors have been identified that will influence the demands and position of community-based nurses in rural practice settings during the next decade. A back-to-basics type of health care offered out of a growing elderly population; technological breakthroughs that make it possible for more chronically ill patients to live at home; serious substance abuse and other adolescent problems; AIDS; and high infant morbidity and mortality statistics are only some of the concerns that will demand nursing intervention. These changes speak to the need for improved nursing coordination, stronger collegial relationships, and better communication between physicians and nurses. Health care is moving in new directions to offer more efficient and technologically sophisticated care. These changes enhance the need for clinically expert educators who teach and jointly practice in programs with a rural focus. Telecommunications, and heightened computer literacy, will play a major role both in nursing education and clinical practice. The goals of kindergarten through 12th grades health promotion and disease prevention strategies in school health will be the norm and will require better prepared, and positions for, school nurses. More midwives and public health nurses will be needed to care for the growing population of sexually active adolescents who are in need of family planning and prenatal care. Underinsured and indigent populations will continue to fall within the purview of midlevel practitioners, as will providing anesthesia services in small rural hospitals. The transition of some rural hospitals into expanded primary care units (e.g., EACHs and RPCHs), and new models of case management will greatly influence nursing demands. This paper will further identify critical ar

Abstract: The American Dietetic Association (ADA) took an active position to support reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA) before it was presented to Congress. A number of registered dietitians presented oral testimony to interested committee members, while the written testimony was presented to both the Senate and House. The 5 major issues were 1) community-based, long-term care; 2) funding and administration of the programs; 3) nutrition education; 4) food safety and sanitation; and 5) nutrient standards. Each position paper contained the ADA position, proposed modifications to the OAA, and position rationale. (kbc)

Abstract: We used the focus group interview technique as a preliminary research step in developing a nutrition education intervention for rural seniors who, because of less than optimal eating habits and changing demographics, are an important target audience. Sixty-eight well, active, rural North Dakota seniors, 60 years or older, from communities of 2,500 or fewer people, participated in five focus groups conducted in late summer 1988. As a qualitative research approach, focus group interviews offer a means of obtaining in-depth information on a specific topic from representatives of a target audience in a discussion group atmosphere. Focus groups require careful preparation and structuring and should include a capable moderator, a prepared discussion guide, carefully recruited participants, and a comfortable setting. The process generated ideas that we are using to develop a health promotion nutrition intervention that will be a mailedhome approach, including use of incentives, social role models, cholesterol screening, and learning activities. The intervention relies on the interest and ability of seniors to make positive health changes. We conclude that the focus group approach is useful in developing nutrition education interventions.

Attitudes of rural and urban elderly

Language: English
Descriptors: Nebraska; Supplements; Nutrition information; Consumer attitudes; Calcium; Urban population; Rural population; Elderly; Women; Men
Abstract: To examine supplement purchase practices and attitudes toward supplements of rural and urban elderly, two questionnaires were designed. One questionnaire included demographic questions, an attitude scale, and questions concerning supplement purchases and sources of information about nutrition. The second questionnaire contained an advertisement about calcium supplements followed by questions regarding means to "improve calcium" and health concerns. The rural elderly had a significantly lower mean education level and a significantly higher number of misconceptions. The average expenditures on supplements were $52.00 per month for the total group and sources of information were media, physicians, family and friends. In response to the advertisement, nearly one-third of the respondents reported that they would be unlikely to take calcium supplements to improve calcium even though 86.7% stated they would take calcium supplements to prevent health problems and 51.7% believed there could be dangers in taking calcium supplements. The most commonly reported means to improve calcium were to increase milk and to eat cheese (86.7% each). Contradictions in the responses may indicate that these elderly are susceptible to advertising implying supplements are needed to prevent health problems.

Descriptors: U.S.A.; Community development; Retired people; Trends; Population growth; Economic growth; Counties; Fiscal policy; Basic services; Social services
Abstract: This paper compares recent trends in population and employment growth in nonmetropolitan retirement counties with those in other types of nonmetropolitan counties ties. Nonmetropolitan retirement counties number 481 out of approximately 2,400 nonmetropolitan U.S. counties. Since 1980, nonmetropolitan retirement counties have accounted for over half of all nonmetropolitan population growth and they have grown at a rate over four times greater than that for the remaining nonmetropolitan counties. Post-1980 employment growth in nonmetropolitan retirement counties also far outstripped that for the remaining nonmetropolitan counties. Local government fiscal data indicate increased expenditures for services to meet the needs of growing elderly populations. Strategies for community development practitioners to use in assessing the effects of retirement migration as a local development option are discussed.

Abstract: This study uses path analysis to examine data for 304 towns and villages in Saskatchewan for 1971-1986, and assesses: (1) how population size effects change in the elderly population; and (2) how such change influences the diversity of local services and the volume of retail sales. Consistent with central place theory, the gains and losses in the elderly population in small towns are found to be positively related to the relative population size of the towns. In turn, local retail sales and the functional diversity of towns are largely dependent upon change in the elderly population, although the distance from a city and local economic conditions also effect services and retail sales. The study concludes that services and retail business in rural Saskatchewan are largely sustained by the elderly population, the decline of which may signify the demise of the economies of many small towns.

Abstract: Falls are the leading cause of accidents among those ages 65 and older and the largest single cause of death due to injury of the elderly. Environmental factors play a key role in the probability of a fall in the homes of the elderly. A community health promotion team approach can reduce the prevalence rate of injuries due to falls by eliminating the risk factors precipitating the injuries. A comprehensive program in Wilmington, OH, will incorporate the use of the community senior citizens' center, the local college, fire department, local radio stations and newspapers, community churches, local merchants, educators, and the medical community. Extrinsic factors that previously have been linked directly to falls will be identified in the home inspections. The "Fixer-Up-Team," composed of college students and community volunteers, will rectify any unsafe condition found by the inspection team. Local merchants and lumber yards will donate materials to make needed repairs. Active senior citizens will be trained as part of the inspection team, allowing this program to be self-perpetuating. Compared with the national prevalence rates, this program will show a decrease in injuries caused by falls in the homes of the participants of this program.

Abstract: We examine the poverty levels of two distinct groups of women who live alone: those under 65 years of age and those 65 and over. On the average, 30 percent of the elderly women who live alone and 21 percent of the younger women are in poverty. Multivariate analyses of poverty rates based on data from the 1980 census indicate that lack of participation in the labor force, lower levels of education, and being under 20 or over 50 years of age explain much of the variance for younger women. For elderly women, the most important variables were whether they had only social security income, had less education, and were nonwhite. In both age groups, women in small towns or rural areas were more likely to be in poverty than those in central cities or suburbs when all other variables were controlled.

Abstract: Extract: The zinc status and energy, protein, and zinc intakes of a group of 50 individuals, 65 years of age or older, residing in rural Pennsylvania have been described. Generally, this group was in good zinc status, although zinc intakes were considerably less than the RDA for most individuals. Energy intakes were generally adequate and protein intakes more than sufficient. It would appear possible to maintain adequate zinc status (as assessed by plasma and hair zinc determinations) with zinc intakes of less than the RDA; this may be facilitated by adequate energy and more than sufficient protein intakes.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the joint effects of gender, ethnicity, seasonal variations and place of residence on nutrient intake among elderly residents of Southwestern Louisiana. Three hundred and fifty-one elderly subjects volunteered and completed all four interviews evenly spaced throughout the year. Multiple analysis of covariance and hierarchal log linear regression were used to examine the joint effects of the independent variables on nutrient intake of eight nutrients; calories, protein, iron, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, riboflavin and thiamin. There were differences between males and females for the intake of calories, protein, iron and vitamin C. Over time, there were differences between rural and urban subjects. Rural subjects showed greater seasonal variability than urban subjects. In addition, the three ethnic groups showed different patterns of seasonal variability. When the nutrient intake data were dichotomized at 68% of the Recommended Dietary Allowances, we found that Blacks were more likely to report values below 68% of the RDA than were either Caucasian group. Also, males were more likely to report values below 68% of the RDA than were females. This study illustrates the need for assessing the effects of multiple factors on nutrient intakes. It also shows that there can be significant differences even between nominally similar ethnic groups. With the increased nutritional risk that the elderly face, further research is needed to clarify and extend these results.

Abstract: Following a discussion of the role of migration in the aging of rural populations and of consequent implications for service provision in rural communities, a case study featuring demographic and service use data for Grey County, Ontario, is presented. Cohort Survival Analysis of census data for the period 1971-1986 indicates a consistent net inmigration of elderly into the county and a complex but predictable pattern of elderly relocation from townships to villages and towns within Grey. The demographic analysis is complemented and extended by the examination of survey data on the residential history and service use of a sample of elderly residents drawn from two communities in Grey County. The survey results provide valuable clues for the interpretation of the demographic analysis and reveal residential history to be a potentially important pre-condition of dependence on formal services intended for the maintenance of elderly persons in the community. The paper concludes with a discussion of the need for local analysis of migration impacts and of the relationship between such impacts and longstanding problems of rural service provision.

Abstract: Nutrient intakes of 2893 rural free-living elderly persons aged 65 and older residing in 11 southern states were studied. Data being reported herein include food intake by a 24-hr recall, meat preparation settings and use of dietary supplements and socioeconomic variables. High percentages of monthly income were spent on food, particularly among black females and participation rates in community service programs, including senior centers and home delivered meals, were low. Caloric intakes by rural males were 1603 and 1365 kcal, respectively, for whites and blacks; 1270 and 1259 kcal for white and black females, respectively. Means for most of the nutrients equalled or exceeded the RDAs for this age group except energy and calcium. Age had little influence on nutrient intake. Race showed as a significant determinant on the nutrient intake index computed from 11 key nutrient intakes; however, the significant effect of race disappeared when either income or educational level was used as covariate. Thus, the disparities in intakes between the black and white elders were due partly to income rather than race. Of these rural elders, 46.5% consumed meals alone. Eating alone per se did not have a significant impact on nutrient consumption, but 35.2% of those eating alone indicated that they ate less, had fewer choices or ate more. Dietary supplements were used by 33.9% of rural elders, and their intakes of several nutrients were higher than by nonusers. More effort by community services to reach rural elders is needed, particularly those in the low socioeconomic spectrum.

Abstract: There are approximately 600 Community and Migrant Health Centers (C/MHCs) providing preventive and primary health care services principally to medically underserved rural and urban areas across the United States. The need to develop geriatric programs within C/MHCs is clear. Less clear is how and under what circumstances a comprehensive geriatric program can be adequately financed. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the Public Health Service contracted with La Jolla Management Corporation and Duke University Center on Aging to identify successful techniques for obtaining funding by examining 10 "good practice" C/MHC geriatric programs. The results from this study indicated that effective techniques included using a variety of funding sources, maintaining accurate cost-per-user information, developing a marketing strategy and user incentives, collaborating with the area agency on aging and other community organizations, and developing special services for the elderly. Developing cost-per-user information allowed for identifying appropriate drawing card" services, negotiating sound reimbursement rates and contracts with other providers, and assessing the financial impact of changing service mixes. A marketing strategy was used to enhance the ability of the centers to provide a comprehensive package of services. Collaboration with the area agency on aging and other community organizations and volunteers in the aging network was found to help establish referral networks and subsequently increase the number of elderly patients served. Finally, development of special services for the elderly, such as adult day care, case management, and health education, was found to increase program visibility, opportunities to work with the network of services for the aging, and clinical utilization.

Abstract: As American lifespans increase, there is greater concern for the quality of those longer lives. The Department of Health and Human Services, through its many component agencies, has inaugurated a major initiative to promote health and fitness among older Americans to improve life quality and to reduce health care costs. The older population is a fertile ground for such an initiative, because studies indicate that the elderly are extremely health-conscious and very willing to adopt habits that will maintain good health. Investigation disclosed six target areas of concentration at which the health promotion initiative could be aimed: fitness-exercise, nutrition, safe and proper use of drugs and alcohol, accident prevention, other preventive services, and smoking cessation. The initiative includes cooperative programs with States; dissemination of printed information; nutritious meals for the elderly; a Food and Drug Administration consumer education program; Centers for Disease Control programs on accident prevention; a special task force to deal with Alzheimer's disease; and, in cooperation with States, a media campaign of health promotion for the elderly. At least three national health and senior citizens organizations are working closely with HHS agencies on the initiative. A separate Department effort involves the encourgement of fast-growing health maintenance organizations to promote health and prevention for their Medicare members and the persuasion of Medicare beneficiaries generally to seek second medical or surgical opinions. State and local government and the private sector, responding to Department initiatives, have also been developing programs for the aging. Their interest and participation ensures that special health promotion and disease prevention efforts directed toward elderly Americans will continue and proliferate.

Abstract: Extract: The elderly, especially the rural elderly, are more likely to have housing problems than other groups. The number of rural elderly households increased 16 percent between 1974 and 1979 compared with an increase of only 10 percent for all U.S. households. In 1979, 15 percent of U.S. rural elderly heads of household lived in inadequate housing compared with 8 percent of the urban elderly. Inadequate housing has one or more of the following flaws, among others: incomplete plumbing facilities, incomplete kitchen facilities, leaking roof, holes in walls or ceilings, and exposed wiring. In addition, one out of five elderly homeowners in rural areas and about half of elderly renters had troule affording their homes.

Abstract: Relatively little attention has been given to the kin ties of rural older adults. To partially fill this gap in knowledge, kin selection theory was used as a conceptual framework to explore two questions on the extent rural older adults expect and receive assistance from the range of affinal and consanguineal kin and the factors that best explain the current level of support provided by each of the kin types in the family system. Analysis was based on interviews conducted in 1985-1986 with 368 rural older adults in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Expectations of kin assistance were much higher than the actual level of support that was provided. Both expected and actual levels of assistance declined as the level of consanguineous kin and associated affinal ties decreased. The level of support provided by kin groups was mainly a function of geographic distance to kin and norms of obligation.

Abstract: Extract: The importance of mealtime companionship and social interaction to improvements of food consumption, nutritional status, and morale in the elderly have been stressed but the research supporting this concept is minimal. The present study determined the relationship between mealtime companionship and morale among a representative group of 418 rural adults aged 65 years or older. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine if there were significant differences in the morale of older adults who usually ate alone versus those who ate with others. Controls were held on marital status, educational level, sex, and self-rated health. The data showed that mealtime companionship was of no relative importance to the morale of older adults when other variables were considered, especially health. The data supported the literature with regard to the greater importance of health to psychological well-being than social factors such as marital status, educational background, sex, and social contact, per se. The conclusions suggest that any efforts to alleviate problems associated with social isolation among the rural elderly should include, more importantly, viable health components that address the multiplicity of their health needs.

Abstract: Extract: In order to evaluate the nutritional status of the elderly--whether for research, clinical evaluation, or the development of community health programs-- the assessment of food intake of both elderly individuals and populations is essential. The rural elderly are at risk of developing nutritional problems because of their limited economic resources, transportation, health services, and increased isolation. While the rural elderly represent the greatest segment of Americans over age 65, there is little information about their food intake and dietary problems. The purpose of this research was to conduct a pilot study which would identify the most reliable means of assessing food intake among a population of rural elderly citizens. The results of this investigation suggest that the 3-day food record, and the diet history were more reliable than the 24- hour recall in measuring the food intake of 30 females and 17 males living in rural North Carolina.

Abstract: We evaluated nutrient intake (as measured by a 3- day food record) and nondietary factors that may influence nutrient intake in urban (n = 48) and rural (n = 47) elderly clients in the Title III C home-delivered meal program. Mean nutrient intake did not differ significantly between the two populations; each population met or exceeded 100% of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for all nutrients other than energy, vitamin B-6, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. However, 70% of the individuals within each population had intakes below 66% of the RDA for three or more nutrients and were thus classified as having poor diets. Factors such as the need for assistance with shopping and cooking, living situation, vitamin/mineral supplementation, prescription drugs, and dentition did not significantly predict nutritional intake in either the urban or the rural cohorts. However, 50% to 70% of both the rural and the urban homebound elderly needed assistance with cooking and shopping for food. The rural elderly relied on family members for help with shopping and cooking to a greater extent than did their urban counterparts. We conclude that nutrient intake of the homebound elderly is not affected by geographic location. However, both rural and urban clients are at risk for developing nutrient deficiencies.

Abstract: Using a mailed survey, we gathered data to examine selected aspects of nutrition attitudes, knowledge, and practices of two groups of randomly selected older individuals living in rural areas. In one group respondents were 75 through 85 years old, and in the other group respondents were 60 through 70 years old. A senior nutrition survey and a shelf inventory were used to obtain information from the 698 respondents. The 60- through 70-year-old group expressed significantly more (P<.001) positive attitudes for efficacy, intention, and outcome expectation than the older group. In addition, the younger group had a higher level (P<.01) of knowledge about fat and salt. They also tended to make more healthful food selections in 7 of 11 categories of the shelf inventory. Our study suggests that 75- through 85-year-old individuals have different nutrition attitudes, knowledge, and practices. Nutrition education should focus on positive messages that are age appropriate, practical, and achievable. Specific topics should include information about beneficial outcomes of healthful eating behaviors.

Abstract: Approximately one quarter of Americans aged 65 and older live in rural areas. Homebound rural elderly are a hard to reach, often poor and frail population. Failure to include homebound rural elderly in nutritional studies may bias representativeness of samples of elderly persons. This paper discusses some challenges in recruiting homebound older persons to participate in nutritional studies and in establishing quality control procedures in a field setting.

Abstract: Older rural women have built upon a rich heritage of courage, optimism, perseverance, and social action. They have acted upon and reacted to economic and social crises that threatened rural institutions and values. Despite these attributes and contributions, they remain largely mythical, uncelebrated, and among the most economically disadvantaged groups. Current economic and social crises occurring in rural areas have important implications for the well-being of older women. This article, drawing upon the historical and empirical literature, suggests that many of the mental health needs of older rural women can best be met by enhancing their proclivity to act upon their environment. Furthermore, it proposes that their history specifies the mechanisms through which their needs can best be met.

Abstract: This paper summarizes the responses of rural elderly people to a variety of symptoms experienced during a three-week period. Responses to symptoms included causal attributions, consultation patterns, and intervention strategies. Data recorded in diaries during a three-week period highlight the importance of lay care in the illnesses of older people. Most symptoms were managed by older respondents themselves. When symptoms were discussed with someone else, the consultant was most likely a family member or friend rather than a health care professional. Only one third of the respondents contacted any formal provider about any of their symptoms. The majority of respondents combined medical and nonmedical explanations in interpreting their symptoms. The most frequent response to a symptom was doing nothing. The next two most commonly reported interventions were over-the-counter medications and activity limitation. Analyses revealed few differences among residential categories in patterns of illness behavior. Rural-urban differences often disappeared when controlling for demographic and socioeconomic background which covary with residence.

Abstract: This article explores the phenomenon of place attachment as a component of the positive image of small town life in rural America. Ethnographic research on elderly residents of an Appalachian community reveals that attachment to place, especially among the old-old, can be subsumed within a motif of "insideness" that has physical, social and autobiographical dimensions. Increasing mobility, socialization within a post Older American's Act era, and changing values may be undermining the image for the young-old and resulting in different manifestations of place attachment. In addition, it is postulated that the diversification of rural and small town elderly populations to include back-tothe -landers, return migrants and amenity retiree migrants, is resulting in the emergence of multiple images of small town life. Each image is associated with a different style of attachment to place. Rural community psychologists need to become increasingly sensitive to diverse manifestations of place attachment among their clients.

Abstract: Poverty is increasing in rural America, undermining many small communities and thereby affecting the well-being of the rural elderly who live there, regardless of income level. This article, which takes a community-level focus, presents an overview of recent national trends and describes patterns and causes of rural poverty observed in community research in upstate New York. Implications for mental health services are discussed, highlighting a community development approach.

Abstract: The availability of adult children as potential caregivers is particularly critical to the rural elderly because of the dearth of health and human services in rural areas. This paper analyzes proximity to adult children among a large sample of older persons with some degree of functional impairment, employing four residence categories and two indicators of proximity: coresidence with a child, and residence within a half-hour's travel time. Results show that older residents of large cities are most likely to live with children and that large-city and farm residents are more likely than small-city or rural nonfarm residents to live near children. Implications regarding the potential for family caregiving for the impaired elderly are discussed.

Abstract: One focus of recent community development efforts has been to attract retirees to rural areas. The feasibility of such a strategy is enhanced if county-level migration patterns of persons 65 years of age and older shift over time and differ from those of the general population, particularly during times of economic recession. Focusing on nonmetropolitan retirement migration in the Pacific Northwest, this paper explores these issues as well as the types of rural counties that are most attractive to retired migrants. It then examines the relative ability of three models-using amenities, service-availability, nd cost-of-living factors, respectively- -to explain nonmetropolitan retirement migration between 1980 and 1985.

Abstract: In an effort to solve the problems associated with meal programs for the rural elderly, a regional kitchen (RK) was established in Tallahassee, Florida in 1982. The RK now provides communal meal programs for approximately 2,000 persons per day in 13 essentially rural counties, at a breakeven rate of $1.57 per plate. To assist others who might want to operate such a plan, the authors describe how the RK was developed, how it operates and what clients and staff thought of the services. Data tables on staff, floorspace, and equipment, before and after the RK was established are included. (emc)

Abstract: Extract: This paper analyzes the contribution of the social security system to liquidity constraints on consumption, and examines the effects of alternative financing measures on individual consumption and lifetime utility. For simplicity, we focus only on the old-age annuity component of social security, and the role of personal income taxation is ignored. These abstractions facilitate a direct comparison of the benefits from participating in the social security annuity system with the costs in terms of liquidity constraints on pre-retirement consumption.

Abstract: This study analyzes data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for Mexican Americans aged 50-74. Comparisons are presented for gender and age groups. The findings suggest that elderly Mexican Americans are relatively poor, low educated and speak mostly Spanish. Moreover, health status indicators reflect, in general, poorer health status among elderly Mexican Americans.

Abstract: Extract: Elderly homeowners should look before they leap into one of the new plans to tap the idle value of their home equity and turn it into cash. While such an equity conversion plan may be just what they've been looking for, the plans can be difficult to evaluate. Some plans will increase their income taxes or make them ineligible for public assistance. Before deciding, it would pay to look into other sources of financial aid, such as a loan secured by a traditional mortgage or a low-interest loan from a State government.

Abstract: The goal of this special issue on rural aging is to present issues of relevance to the psychological, social, and physical well-being of older Americans who reside in rural environments, particularly those living in small rurual communities experiencing acute and chronic changes associated with the restructuring of the rural economy. In this introductory article, we present a transactional approach to environmental stress which we use to identify and taxonomize multi-level positive and negative outcomes experienced by elderly residents of small, economically-endangered towns. We use this contextual taxonomy to offer an overview of these possible outcomes, and discuss their relevance for rural community psychologists and other professionals concerned with the mental health of rural elderly individuals. The invited articles in this special issue, each dealing with issues described by this framework, are introduced.

Descriptors: Rural areas; Migration; Retirement; Population density; Growth; Leisure
Abstract: Extract: Most changes in the size and composition of a population occur because of the movement of residents rather than birth and death rates. Migrants from metro areas, who have provided much of the growth in rural areas since the 1970's, have tended to move to nonmetro counties that ranked high in amenities. Job-related reasons were less important to these new residents. Knowing the causes of nonmetro growth is important because today's mobile society makes planning by small communities difficult. This report assesses migration to nonmetro counties during 1975-80, whether the migrants came from metro or other nonmetro areas, and to what region they were most likely to move.
