There has been increased interest in developing health promotion programs for the rural elderly as a means to foster successful aging. The present study describes one such program and identifies rural and urban differences in health promotion activities. Data come from the California Preventive Health Care for the Aging Program (PHCAP) which is one of the oldest and largest such programs in the United States. A sample of over 5,000 PHCAP clients was drawn from rural, semi-rural and urban projects. Though the rural and urban clients differed significantly with respect to demographic characteristics, differences in health promotion practices were relatively minor. However, the health promotion practices of semi-rural residents differed considerably from that in rural projects. Though less disabled, semi-rural clients received a greater scope of health promotion activities than rural clients. The authors discuss possible site, practitioner and client factors which may have accounted for rural health promotion activities being more restricted. Regardless of project site, the California PHCAP detected many health problems and a majority of clients were referred to other health professionals for treatment.
