Ohio community mental health center directors' perceptions of programming for older adults: an exploratory study.
This study of Ohio CMHC directors' perceptions examines three systems dimensions: how mental health services are provided to elders, levels of service needs and whether they are met, and barriers to service delivery. Two distinct types of centers are compared--those that do and do not have specialized geriatric components. Specialized programming efforts appear to be making a difference in bridging the gap between levels of service delivery and need.
