title: The evaluation of the National Long Term Care Demonstration. 9. The effect of channeling on mortality, functioning, and well-being.
abstract: A key component of the channeling evaluation was its focus on the life quality of program clients and their caregivers. In this article, life quality results in the areas of mortality, functioning, and client and caregiver well-being are presented for research treatment and control group members. Results show no significant differences in mortality, some beneficial program effects on client and caregiver well-being, and somewhat mixed effects on client functioning.
