Popis:	A randomly selected representative sample (61%) of Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) in Louisiana was investigated for the efficacy of services provided. A great majority of directors and personnel (95%) were not trained for their job. More than 25% of the AAAs did not have sufficient demographic data on the elderly (60 and over) in their area. Only 37% of the AAAs were able to provide information on service barriers, availability, adequacy, and utilization. These findings seriously question the efficacy of services provided by the AAAs and their contribution to the health care of the elderly in Louisiana.
