Responses (N = 621) from a population-based statewide random digit dial telephone survey were analyzed to determine the sources of information respondents would use to locate home and community-based long-term care services and to identify predictors of use of each source. Respondents turn to formal sources of information more than informal sources, and age, race, income, and gender significantly predicted the source of information used. Findings support development of targeted public awareness campaigns that take a multi-pronged approach using multiple dissemination mechanisms to inform the public about long-term care options.KEYWORDS: Long-term careinformation disseminationservice awareness
