Abstract
Older adults use public and private services, as well as personal resources, to meet nutritional needs. In-depth interviews conducted with 73 service providers and community experts in two rural North Carolina counties were analyzed for these experts' perceptions of barriers to adequate nutrition for older adults. Perceived barriers included characteristics of the county and programs, transportation, and kin, as well as older adult medical and economic conditions, food habits, knowledge, and attitudes. The importance given each of these domains varied by respondents' area of expertise. Community experts and providers may not see the connection between their services and nutritional well-being of older adults.
