Description:
This new report, Enhancing Use of Clinical Preventive Services Among Older Adults -- Closing the Gap, calls attention to the use of potentially lifesaving preventive services by our nation's growing population of adults aged 65 years and older. By presenting and interpreting available state and national self-reported survey data, the Report aims to raise awareness among public health and aging services professionals, policy makers, the media, and researchers of critical gaps and opportunities for increasing the use of clinical preventive services, particularly among those who are currently underserved.
