A study of utilization and satisfaction: implications for cultural concepts and design in aging services

Article Abstract:

The high attendance and satisfaction of native aged Hawaiians at the health education and promotion program of a culturally specific project show the importance of designing culturally relevant aging programs for ethnic minorities. The outreach workers in the program formed personal networks among the Hawaiian elderly by maintaining one-to-one relationships. The participants learnt about the program through the network systems. This implies that service designers should incorporate cultural aspects in program planning for the minority elderly.
