Service directories: reinvigorating a community resource for self-care

RL Cherry, J Prebis and V Pick
Gerontology Center, Purdue University, Calumet, Hammond, IN 46323, USA.

This article reviews the development, distribution, and effectiveness of a free, comprehensive mass-mailed community service directory designed for older people. While only half of a pre/post-distribution sample remembered receiving it, recipients of the directory indicate it increased service awareness and prompted various types of use. Alternatives for design and distribution of community directories are discussed.
