Book excerpt: Reliable, easily administered, and objective ways of assessing the well-being of the elderly and their use of, and need for, services are rare.

This volume discusses ways in which the procedure has been used and can be used by clinicians, program evaluators and planners. The book also examines OARS (Older Americans Resources and Services Program) MFAQ and how it permits assessment of the level of functioning in five areas: social, economic, mental health, physical health and self-care.
