- catalog abstract "The purpose of this longitudinal study was to understand the functioning and family structure of White and Black oldest old. The researcher examined how the participants manage their physical environment, maintain social relations, and sustain a sense of well-being. There were 122 African American and 150 White participants, aged eighty-five years and older. The sample was constructed by selecting names from public voting records and several community organizations in San Francisco and Oakland, California. Additional names were obtained through peer referrals, because of the small population of African Americans in the selected age group. Letters were sent to participants eighty-five years and older, followed by a phone call to schedule an interview. Interviews were conducted in the participant's home and lasted 2-3 hours, and sometimes involved two visits to complete. The interview contained both open-ended and closed-ended questions. The Murray Center holds 122 questionnaires for the African American sample. Follow-up is not possible.".
