- Description:
- This study evaluated the effects of Central Fulton Senior Services' nutrition program on senior citizens' perceived social support. A 25-item questionnaire measured the dimensions of support: Tangible, Affectionate, Emotional/Informational, and Positive Social Interaction. The questionnaire was administered to 40 elderly meal recipients (Congregate Dining and Meals on Wheels) of Fulton County, Georgia. The Chi-Square Test of Association was used to analyze the study's findings. The findings revealed significant chi-square values for the majority of the questionnaire items, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis. The study's research hypothesis was supported favorably by the findings.
