This article presents a comparative analysis of the level of awareness and utilization of 15 community-based long-term care services by 213 elderly Korean and 201 non-Hispanic White Americans. We found extremely low levels of awareness and utilization of long-term health and social services among Korean Americans, in both absolute and relative terms. This finding challenges the success of the Older Americans Act, an important funding source of those services, in meeting its stated objectives to increase service availability and delivery to minority elders and socioeconomically disadvantaged elders. Strategies for effective outreach and public education efforts are also discussed.
本文对213名韩裔老年人和201名非西班牙裔美国白人对15种社区长期护理服务的认知水平和使用情况进行了比较分析。我们发现，无论从绝对还是相对角度来看，韩裔美国人对长期健康和社会服务的认知水平和使用率都极低。这一发现对《美国老年人法案》（这些服务的重要资金来源）在实现其增加向少数族裔老年人和社会经济弱势老年人提供服务的既定目标方面的成功提出了挑战。本文还讨论了有效的外展和公共教育策略。
