| Summary: | Based on a study in Minnesota, identifies and analyzes the several factors that determine whether the rural elderly will use social services if they are provided. Establishes a scale of rurality based on the degree of isolation, the size of communities, the primary economic activities, and ethnic and social diversity; then uses interview responses to test various hypotheses on the correlation of rurality to service use.
