The main question of this dissertation is "how to understand aging service use levels by Asian/Chinese seniors?" Four service use theoretical models/frameworks and previous studies were used as guides to derive possible service use explanatory components and factors in understanding service use by Asian/Chinese seniors. This study intends to explore and identify those factors, components, and their interrelationships which explain service use by Asian/Chinese elderly.

520 $a The main question of this dissertation is "how to understand aging service use levels by Asian/Chinese seniors?" Four service use theoretical models/frameworks and previous studies were used as guides to derive possible service use explanatory components and factors in understanding service use by Asian/Chinese seniors. This study intends to explore and identify those factors, components, and their interrelationships which explain service use by Asian/Chinese elderly.
520 $a A community-based case study was used as the tool to achieve the research goals. The Capital District of New York is the research site. Twenty-nine Chinese seniors living in the Capital District, ten Chinese community leaders and ten aging service officers/providers are the research respondents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather information from all research respondents. This study used information gathered from the research respondents for data analysis. The data analysis is to determine whether the proposed explanatory factors and components relate to service by the elderly respondents, and how these components and factors interact and shape the service use outcomes.
520 $a The main conclusion of this study is that service use by Chinese elderly respondents can be understood as the outcomes of the interactions among the explanatory components proposed. Specifically, this study found relationships between three of the explanatory components (individual characteristics, mainstream aging service characteristics, and community/other helping resources characteristics). The relationships are explained through math/mismatch and/or substitution relationships among the explanatory components. When there is a match, the elderly respondents perceived the needed service as available, accessible, acceptable, and they use the service. When there is mismatch, the elderly respondents do not perceive the needed service as available, accessible, or preferred/accepted, and they do not use the service. In addition, substitution relationships occur when there are other helping resources available. These other helping resources may substitute for the use of mainstream aging services, even if there is a match relationship between individual and mainstream aging service characteristics.
520 $a The findings of this study can be used as the analytic approach for understand aging service use levels by Asian/Chinese elderly as well as other elderly groups.
