Description
Erin Bouldin and co-authors measure who uses support services among family caregivers of older adults with dementia, and how the burden lands by race. Their 2023 study draws on a 2021 national caregiving survey. It covers 470 caregivers: 187 Black, 37 Hispanic, and 246 White.
Each caregiver was classed by whether they had used a support group, training, or respite care in the past year. Use varied by group: near half of Hispanic caregivers, and about three in ten Black and White caregivers, had used a service. In a twist, Black and White users told of more burden than their peers who used nothing. The authors weigh what that twist may mean for how services reach people.
