A project was conducted in Iowa to develop educational programs for older adults who were not institutionalized. Focus of the activity was on sites that held community meals for the aging on a daily basis. Those who attended were targeted for after-dinner educational programs. A survey was taken of the interests of the senior citizens attending the centers; as a result, eight teaching units were prepared and distributed to the meal centers for use by teachers in a variety of ways. Appendices include a series of press releases on these subjects and a composite of evaluations of programs by participants. Student materials, including notes for the instructor, cover the following topics: health insurance for retirement-age individuals, cholesterol, keeping healthy, cooking for one or two, living off Social Security, high blood pressure, high blood pressure and a salt restricted diet, and diabetes.
