| INTRODUCTION |

The emotional well-being performance measure is one of three cross-cutting
performance measures, which are independent of service type. For POMP,
it was suggested that these cross-cutting measures be linked to a specific
service, and administered at the same time that the service questionnaire
was administered.
The emotional well-being is an experimental measure with high recommendations
for its use in evaluating the effect of services. John Ware's recent research
strongly suggests that emotional well-being is an important domain of
functioning, as well as an area over which OAA services have considerable
influence. The Title III-B services do not directly target mental health
issues; however, depression, anxiety or worry can affect physical health.
A recent evaluation of a HUD community-based long-term care program conducted
by Westat showed that the greatest impact occurred in the quality of life
arena.
