Problem Drinking Participants in Programs for the Elderly: Programmatic Considerations

Jordan I. Kosberg

Edwin J. McCarthy

Little is known about how programs and services for the elderly identify, perceive, and deal with problem drinking participants. A survey was undertaken of 50 nutrition, day care, and multiservice programs for the elderly in one area of West Central Florida. It was learned that there was an inability to identify older problem drinkers and even when identified, seldom were the necessary referrals made to alcoholism agencies in the area. Implications are discussed related to agency policies toward problem drinkers, staff training, and formal linkages between programs for the elderly and alcoholism agencies.
