Abstract
Racial differences in well-being among older persons utilizing services at nutrition sites funded by the Older Americans Act were examined. Findings clearly demonstrate the disadvantaged status of black service consumers compared with white service consumers with regard to economic security, health and functional status, social integration, and knowledge about and access to services. Only minor variations were found in assistance utilization. The life perspective of black service consumers was more positive than that of whites.
