This guide is designed for policy analysts at all levels of government to use when reviewing current and proposed policies and programs that affect seniors. It contains a list of policy questions that deal specifically with each of the five principles. It also gives examples of policy/program responses from seniors. The guide includes an overview of the NFA and details on the development process that created the policy questions."
