State units and convergence models: needs assessment revisited

KS Harlow and MJ Turner
Heartland Center on Aging, Disability and Long Term Care, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Indianapolis 46202.

Based on a comprehensive survey of state and territorial units on aging, this article reexamines and evaluates the needs assessment process in place in social service agencies. Although most agencies reported multiple sources of planning data, serious limitations in the representativeness of selected data sets were still apparent. We outline a convergence model of needs assessment that utilizes a long- range planning perspective for the development of planning models.
