Elderly in Rural Kentucky, 1975

A household survey, conducted in Powell County, Kentucky, ascertained the ages of household members and gathered other information as well. For those households with at least one member aged 60 or over, additional questions were asked about all of the household members and about the characteristics of the housing. Longer interviews were conducted with each household member who was 60 years of age or older. Question topics included health conditions, health care, access to health services, activities, work experiences, social network, transportation, communication, community services, income, and assets.
