Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine referral outcomes in a community-based, preventive health program for low-income elderly people in California. We examined the records of 2,750 clients who participated in a complete screening exam and who accepted at least one referral. Twenty-four percent of the participants had received a new diagnosis, a new medication, a change in medication dose, a biopsy, or surgery. These results are encouraging for screening clinics focused on low-income seniors.
