Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPOA) Program Survey of Older Adults, 2002 [United States]

This survey is one component of the evaluation of the Community Partnerships for Older Adults (CPOA) Program, an initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation aimed at promoting improvements in the organization and delivery of long-term care and supportive services for older adults through local public-private community partnerships. The survey interviewed a representative sample of older adults aged 50 and over in 13 communities that were awarded development grants by the program. Designed to obtain baseline data about each community's population and to provide information to target the CPOA's activities in the most effective way, the survey interviewed respondents about supportive and long-term care services for older adults in their communities, including the availability, use of, and quality of the services and sources of information about them. Respondents were asked if they expected to stay in their community, if their homes needed repairs or modifications to improve their ability to live in them, how important it was to be able to live in their own home as they grew older, the age at which they thought they would need help to continue living in their own home, and the age at which they thought they could no longer live at home because of health problems. The survey also collected information on health status, problems with activities of everyday life, health insurance coverage and long-term care insurance, hospital stays, living arrangements, social activities, support from family and friends, access to transportation, and demographic characteristics.

本调查是评估社区老年伙伴计划（CPOA）的一部分，该计划由罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会发起，旨在通过地方性的公私社区伙伴关系，推动长期护理和支持性服务在组织与提供方面的改进。调查对13个获得该计划发展资助的社区中50岁及以上的老年代表样本进行了访谈。该调查旨在收集关于各社区人口状况的基线数据，并为CPOA活动的最有效实施提供信息。调查内容涉及社区中老年人在支持性及长期护理服务方面的可用性、使用情况、服务质量以及相关信息来源。受访者被问及他们是否预期留在自己的社区，他们的住所是否需要维修或改造以改善居住能力，随着年龄增长能够在自己家中居住的重要性，他们认为需要帮助继续在自己家中生活的年龄，以及他们认为由于健康问题无法继续在家居住的年龄。调查还收集了关于健康状况、日常生活活动中的问题、医疗保险和长期护理保险覆盖范围、住院情况、居住安排、社交活动、家人和朋友的支持、交通可达性以及人口统计学特征等信息。
