Abstract
In order to identify the patterns of health-social services use by impaired elders in the community, it is imperative to examine the relationships among health status, social support, and use of services. The role of social support networks as a mediating factor between psychological symptoms and gerontological health deserves a careful assessment. This study has systematically investigated the use of ambulatory services by 694 elders who had a functionally limiting condition in the Statewide Survey of Older Virginians in 1979.
