Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 6Spg9R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. THE HEALTH CARE needs of 44 elderly, seasonal migrants to a remote desert town in Arizona were examined in this study. Findings suggest that the convenience sample differed from the general population in that they reported good to excellent health, low utilization of health services during the past year, and high levels of social support from family and friends. |
