  • Title: Mental health problems and aging: a short quiz.
    Author: Pruchno R, Smyer MA.
    Journal: Int J Aging Hum Dev; 1983; 17(2):123-40. PubMed ID: 6671812.
    Abstract:
    The mental health needs of older adults remain largely unmet. This gap is due, in part, to a lack of adequately trained professionals and paraprofessionals. The sixteen-item quiz presented in this article has two purposes: 1) to present an overview of salient empirical and theoretical issues in the area of mental health and aging, and 2) to promote discussion of these topics. Each item is documented with supporting literature. In addition, average scores, item difficulties, and item-to-total correlations are presented for two groups of undergraduate students.
