在俄克拉荷马州，老年人口的不断增长和老年人持续的健康状况不佳迫使人们重新审视什么样的健康促进服务会受到欢迎。调查分发给俄克拉荷马州65岁及以上的登记选民名单，共返回1,248份调查（19.8%）。调查项目询问对服务，课程和活动的兴趣，以及当前访问和/或参与此类计划的障碍。为了解释调查加权，进行Rao-Scott卡方检验以确定人口统计学特征的差异。我们确定的服务，类，和活动，是（和不）感兴趣的老年人在俄克拉荷马州与法律的援助（52.1%），运动类（46.6%），互联网类（40.7%），和室内运动活动（45.5%）接收的最高水平的兴趣。阻碍参加方案的障碍包括不想去和不知道是否有这种服务。这项调查的结果为老年人的健康促进差距，参与此类活动的兴趣和障碍以及全州计划开发提供了有用的数据。未来的计划发展需要集中在老年人感兴趣的领域，包括法律的援助，锻炼班和互联网课程。
The growing senior population and persistent poor health status of seniors in Oklahoma compels a fresh look at what health promotion services would be well received. Surveys were distributed to a list of registered voters aged 65 and older in Oklahoma with a total of 1,248 surveys returned (19.8%). Survey items asked about interests in services, classes, and activities, plus current barriers to accessing and/or engaging in such programs. To account for survey weighting, Rao-Scott Chi-Square Tests were performed to determine differences by demographic characteristics. We identified services, classes, and activities that were (and were not) of interest to seniors in Oklahoma with legal assistance (52.1%), exercise classes (46.6%), internet classes (40.7%), and indoor exercise activities (45.5%) receiving the highest level of interest. Barriers to interest in participating in programs included not wanting to go and not knowing availability of such services. The results of this survey provide useful data on health promotion gaps for seniors, interests and barriers to engaging in such activities, and guidance for statewide program development. Future program development needs to be focused on areas of interest for older adults, including legal assistance, exercise classes, and internet classes.
