                Forum and Presentation
        Considering Seniors' Quality of Life:
        Model, Measurement, and Policy Implications

A team from the University of Toronto and the North York
Public Health Department have developed an approach by which
seniors' quality of life can be assessed. The model
considers seniors'  satisfaction with their physical,
psychological and spiritual well-being.  It also looks at
seniors' connections with their physical, social, and
community environments.  Finally, it examines daily,
leisure, and growth or maintenance activities.

The Forum introduces the model, describes how quality of
life can be measured, and provides applications of the
model.  Program and policy implications are considered.
Copies of the measures and related publications and
materials will be available.
