Categorizing family caregiving experiences across health continuums
This article presents a caregiver-centered framework that categorizes the experiences of caregivers to align unmet caregiver needs with relevant supports. The study applied a partner-engaged, qualitative, mixed-methods approach. Using findings from a qualitative evidence synthesis, facilitated data sorting, and caregiver focus groups, the team developed and refined a conceptual model comprised of four key components: phases, goals, stressors, and…
Family-involved interventions may offer unique benefits for Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experiencing high family strain
Family-involved interventions for Veterans with high family strain are feasible and may have even greater benefits than for Veterans reporting low family strain. Future research is needed to empirically test this hypothesis and to understand the experiences of female Veterans. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Reframing caregiver experiences
This article aims to define caregiving experiences through the perspectives of caregivers, as opposed to the traditional disease-centered paradigm. We identified 338 studies and purposefully sampled 40 for analysis to include experiences of caring for adult and child recipients with physical and mental health impairments. Themes included the following: (1) caregivers struggle to meet the requirements of complex roles; (2) caregiving wears on the …
Feasibility of a family-involved intervention to increase engagement in evidenced-based psychotherapies for posttraumatic stress disorder
Our study identified potential implementation facilitators (e.g., standard operating procedures about session documentation, confidentiality, and family ethics) and challenges (e.g., clinical workflow integration) that require further study to bring FAMILIAR into routine clinical care.

Optimizing the Equitable Deployment of Virtual Care for Women
Introduction: Women experience numerous barriers to patient-centered health care (e.g., lack of continuity). Such barriers are amplified for women from marginalized communities. Virtual care may improve equitable access. We are conducting a partner-engaged, qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) of patients' and providers' experiences with virtual health care delivery for women. Methods: We use a best-fit framework approach informed by the Non-adop…
Veteran Caretaker Perspectives of the Need for Childcare Assistance During Health Care Appointments
Adapting a family-involved intervention to increase initiation and completion of evidenced-based psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is disabling condition among United States Veterans. Training programs for evidenced-based therapies have been rolled out nationally in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), but provider adoption of these treatments is limited and rates of Veteran dropout are high. Increasing support for mental health therapy within the Veteran's social network would improve treatment engagement. We discuss the adaptation …
Association between Gentrification and Health and Healthcare Utilization
Family Caregivers of Veterans Experience Clinically Significant Levels of Distress Prepandemic and During Pandemic
BACKGROUND: Of the 26.4 million family caregivers in the United States, nearly 40% report high levels of emotional strain and subjective burden. However, for the 5 million caregivers of Veterans, little is known about the experiences of caregivers of Veterans during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to examine pandemic-related changes of caregiver well-being outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN, SUBJECTS, AND MEASURES:…
Family Caregiver and Provider Perspectives on Inclusive Care
BACKGROUND: Home-based and community-based health care for individuals with complex medical conditions is often provided by family caregivers. Yet caregivers often are not meaningfully included in interactions with clinical health care teams. Inclusive care means inviting the caregiver to participate in shared decision-making and treatment planning. For aging or medically vulnerable adults, caregiver inclusion is an important facet of patient-cen…

Measurement Properties of the Capacity Instrument to Assess Perceived Communication With the Health Care Team Among Care Partners of Patients With Cognitive Impairment
BACKGROUND: The CAregiver Perceptions About CommunIcaTion with Clinical Team members (CAPACITY) instrument measures how care partners perceive themselves to be supported by the patient's health care team and their experiences communicating with the team. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess the measurement properties (ie, structural validity of the construct and internal consistency) of the CAPACITY instrument in care partners of…
Pain Intensity and Pain Interference in Male and Female Iraq/Afghanistan-era Veterans
Is Maternal Income in Childhood Associated With Adolescent Health and Behavioral Outcomes
Maternal income increases immediate investment in children for food, child care, and health care, but whether maternal income influences longer term health and behavioral outcomes is unknown. Using data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, we examine the association between maternal income in early and later childhood on body mass index percentile, problem behaviors, and self-reported health status at age 15 among a sam…
Comprehensive Support for Family Caregivers of Post-9/11 Veterans Increases Veteran Utilization of Long-term Services and Supports
Family caregivers are an important component of the long-term services and supports (LTSS) system. However, caregiving may have negative consequences for caregiver physical and emotional health. Connecting caregivers to formal short-term home- and community-based services (HCBS), through information resources and referrals, might alleviate family caregiver burden and delay nursing home entry for the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

Rebuilding and strengthening health systems and providing basic health services in fragile states
The international community has compelling humanitarian, political, security and economic reasons to engage in rebuilding and strengthening health systems in fragile states. Improvements in health services and systems help to strengthen civil society and to restore legitimacy to governments. Effective engagement with fragile states to inform the design of health programmes and selection of interventions depends on donor coordination and an unders…
