Exploratory Evaluation of Projects Providing Mental Health and Aging Services to Asian/Pacific and Hispanic Americans: Report on Current Knowledge Relating to Operational and Evaluative Aspects

摘要

This report is one of several developed to perform an exploratory evaluation of aging and mental health programs providing services to Asian/Pacific and Hispanic populations. It draws mainly on the literature review and inventory. The site visits were especially useful in that they were a rich source of firsthand observation and of involvement. Another source of valuable contributions to the project was an Advisory Panel, drawn from both the public and private sectors, who provided input in identifying and analyzing a wide range of technical issues in this project, especially those relating to the delivery of mental health and aging programs to specific ethnic populations.
