Community-Based Health and Social Services

(1986, approx. 92 pp., #132, $10.00)

How can services or programs be designed so that they are socially and culturally viable, yet responsive to changing community needs? That was one of the central questions at a 1985 national conference on "Improving the Delivery of Community-Based Health and Social Services." Based on the presentations and discussions at the conference, this report examines both short and long-term issues affecting community-based health and social services - the benefits and pitfalls, obstacles to success, and the role of such services in bringing about social change.
