Understanding birthparent involvement in kinship families
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
Caregiving grandmothers with vs. without child welfare system involvement
Family Dynamics in Three-Generation Grandfamilies
Grandparent-headed families, called grandfamilies, are increasingly important in assisting adult children and grandchildren. This study ( N = 376) provides a qualitative analysis of statements made by grandmothers about relationships between three core family members: (a) grandmother, (b) parent, and (c) grandchild. These family members constitute an intergenerational triad, displaying a variety of relationship patterns based on emotional closene…
Grandmothers Raising Grandchildren

Grandmothers as kinship caregivers
Intergenerational Triads in Grandparent-Headed Families

Grandmothers Who Parent Their Grandchildren
Grandparents raising grandchildren is a growing phenomenon born of serious parent difficulties such as drug addiction, child abuse, and neglect. This study focuses on grandmother well-being and the configuration of close relationships across an intergenerational triad consisting of grandmother, parent, and grandchild. Grandmothers who played a linking role in the family and had strong ties to both other generations had greater life satisfaction t…
Divorce After Long Term Marriages
As divorce rates continue to increase among older adults, many divorcees face rebuilding their lives after dissolution of long term marriages. This study explored relationships with former spouses in a sample of 31 men and women divorced after marriages of 15 years or more. Generally, interaction with former spouses was minimal. However, greater interaction (parental and nonparental) with former spouses was related to mental health and well being…
The Caregiving Roles of Asian American Women
Asian Americans are the fastest growing subgroup of elderly in the United States. When Alzheimer's D~sease strikes Asian American families, women are usually the caregivers.

Evaluation of a Model Self-Help Telephone Program
A study of a model telephone network program for caregivers of Alzheimer's disease victims considered its impact on caregivers' use of informal supports as well as perceived social supports, mental health, burden, and information about Alzheimer's disease. Participants were randomly assigned to a peer telephone network or an informational lecture series accessed over the telephone, and then they were reassigned to the alternative component after …
Reciprocity among Older Adult Peers
An analysis of giving and receiving among sixty-seven older adult neighbors from two retirement apartment complexes shows a pattern of overall reciprocity except for personal and domestic tasks. Most relationships were considered symmetrical by respondents. In asymmetrical relationships, receivers described feeling closer to their interactants than givers. Implications for neighborhood interventions involve maximizing the use of indigenous manpow…
