Rural Elderly Women's Attitudes Toward Professional and Governmental Assistance

Elizabeth DePoy

The study presented here examined the attitudes of 218 rural elderly women toward receiving professional and governmental assistance. The results indicated that although the respondents had little familiarity with governmental programs, they were generally in favor of increased assistance for people in need. The relationship of these constructs to age, income, education, and marital status is discussed, as are the implications for social work practice with this population.
