The Relationship between Personal and Contextual Factors and Participation Restriction in Mid-Life Caregivers
Interventions to optimize caregiving routines and improve dyadic relationships could decrease participation restriction in mid-life CGs
Effects of Caregiver Sleep Disturbances on Relationship Quality With Their Care Recipient
Sleep problems are influential health behaviors that are related to relationship quality for caregivers. Therefore, it is critical that sleep is more systematically assessed and addressed in caregiving populations
Work Performance Among Informal Caregivers
Objectives: To examine the association between informal caregiving and caregiver work performance. Method: A systematized review of the literature. Results: We found that caregiving has an adverse impact on work performance: caregivers experience substantial work disruptions and negative work performance outcomes, and these findings were consistent across measures. Our synthesis suggests that caregivers miss a significant amount of work and have …
Mental Health among Older Adults with Caregiving Needs
A major challenge facing an aging society is the increased caregiving needs among community-dwelling older adults with chronic conditions. Reliance on social relations may help address caregiving needs and maintain older adults’ mental well-being. This study examines the roles of different aspects of social relations—social network size, social support, and service use—in the association between caregiving needs and mental health status (MHS). Us…
The race paradox in subjective wellbeing among older Americans
This study aims to assess racial differences in subjective wellbeing (SWB) and to examine whether the pathways of social support and social engagement to SWB vary by racial groups in the United States of America. Using a local sample (N = 1,035) and a nationally representative sample of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 7,718), we compared life satisfaction and happiness between non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks aged 55 and over. We evaluated the…
Using Clinical Vignettes to Assess Quality of Care for Acute Respiratory Infections
Overprescribing of antibiotics for acute respiratory infections (ARIs) is common. Our objective was to develop and validate a vignette-based method to estimate clinician ARI antibiotic prescribing. We surveyed physicians (n = 78) and retail clinic clinicians (n = 109) between January and September 2013. We surveyed clinicians using a set of ARI vignettes and linked the responses to electronic health record data for all ARI visits managed by these…
Depression stigma, race, and treatment seeking behavior and attitudes

Telephone surveys were administered to assess level of depressive symptoms, demographic characteristics, stigma, and treatment‐related attitudes and behaviors. Multiple regression analysis indicated that internalized stigma mediated the rela…
