This study examines stakeholder perspectives on the process, performance, and outcome of the AFC program. A 53-item questionnaire was developed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline, i…
Challenges to Engaging Diverse Participants in Community-Based Aging in Place Initiatives

This study examined data from a national survey of NORC program and Village leaders on participant diversity. Villages and NORC Programs are serving a majority of white participants on average. Initiatives implemented in urban locations, and with more full-time staff, reported grea…
Age-Friendly Community Initiatives
Public policy and programs for older adults traditionally have focused on the delivery of benefits to targeted individuals. Over the past decade, age-friendly community initiatives (AFCIs) have developed as a paradigm shift in contrast to this predominant focus. AFCIs engage stakeholders from multiple sectors within a typically local geographic area to make social and/or physical environments more conducive to older adults' health, well-being, an…

Ageing-friendly communities and social inclusion in the United States of America
Synthesising the social capital and ageing-friendly communities literature, this paper describes how efforts to make communities more ageing-friendly can promote social inclusion among older adults. Making existing communities more ageing-friendly involves physical and social infrastructure changes that enable older adults to pursue lifelong activities, meet their basic needs, maintain significant relationships, participate in the community in pe…

This study seeks to address gaps in the literature by developing a typologyof community aging initiatives and examining variations in community change processes, including the methods they use, roles of participants, funding sources…
Types and Sources of Support Received by Family Caregivers of Older Adults from Diverse Racial and Ethnic Groups
This study examines racial and ethnic variations in the types and sources of support caregivers receive. We conducted telephone surveys of 1,643 randomly selected respondents in California who provided care to someone age 50 or over. African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and white caregivers were compared with regard to support received from formal and informal sources. Patterns of support use were found to vary by racial/eth…
Racial and Ethnic Variations in Caregiver Service Use
Objectives: This article examines whether race and ethnicity contribute to the differential use of caregiver support services, when controlling for caregiver and care recipient characteristics, as represented by predisposing, enabling, and need factors included in the Behavioral Model of Health Services Use. Methods: The study includes 1,508 individuals who provide care to an ill or disabled adult aged 50 or older, identified through a random dig…
An Interactive Model of Informal Adult Care and Employment
This study examines a multifactorial model of caregiving strain and accommodations, utilizing a sample of 1,146 employed caregivers. Based on a theoretically derived resource and demand model of caregiving outcomes, stepwise multiple regression equations were utilized to assess the contribution of selected caregiver background characteristics, family and work demands, and resources. Demanding aspects of caregiving and work responsibilities were f…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Family Caregiving in California
Family caregivers are the main source of long-term care for older persons in the United States. At the same time, cultural values and beliefs shape decisions surrounding who provides care and whether families use formal support interventions to assist the caregiver. The current article examines how the family caregiving experience differs among racial and ethnic groups in terms of caregiver characteristics, service utilization, caregiver strain, …
Role strain among working parents
This study examined work-family interference experienced by working parents in a sample of 1888 employed adults. Role strain was examined using a multidimensional model that included family-related and work-related demands and resources. Multiple regression analyses revealed that having children under the age of six, more demanding jobs, less satisfactory child care arrangements, and less workplace support contributed significantly to higher leve…
Employee experiences with family and medical leave
This article examines employee experiences with family and medical leave policies at an urban public transportation union work site in the United States. The case study focuses on the leave experiences among a sample population of 91 primarily African-American women transit workers, including reasons for taking or not taking leaves, decisions regarding how much leave time to take, and work impacts experienced after returning from leaves. The case…
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993
This analysis of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 examines the history of the legislation, the implementation of the act's provisions, the frequency of family leave requests, and the effect of mandated family leave on the workplace. We conclude with a set of recommendations for employers and policy makers designed to reinforce and strengthen existing family leave policy and to improve implementation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
Health Conditions and Service Utilization of Adults with Elder Care Responsibilities
This study examines health conditions and health care services utilization rates of 628 caregivers and 6,599 noncaregivers age 50 or older who were members of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan in Northern California. Controlling for age, gender, and race, caregivers were more likely than noncaregivers to report backaches, insomnia, arthritis, rectal problems, and hearing problems; they were also more likely to report having two or more current health…
Reactions to the Death of a Parent during Midlife
Interviews with eighty-three adults aged thirty-five to sixty who had lost a parent one to five years previously found that 60 percent continued to experience emotional reactions and 44 percent continued to experience somatic reactions to the death. The majority also reported changes in their sense of maturity, personal priorities, work and/or career objectives, feelings about their own mortality, and the importance and nature of various social r…
Adult Daughters' Relationships with Their Mothers and Reactions to the Mothers' Deaths
This paper examines the reactions of 46 adult women to the deaths of their elderly mothers. Content analysis of interview and questionnaire data revealed that a daughter's ability to resolve the grief associated with her mother's death was significantly affected by the kind of relationship she had had with her mother when the mother was alive. Women whose grief reactions were more resolved were more likely to have had close, mutually accepting re…
Factors associated with filial grief following the death of an elderly parent
Initial and residual grief reactions were assessed in a group of 220 adults, aged 35-60, who had experienced the death of a parent one to five years previously. Reactions to the loss were found to have sustained effects on social and emotional functioning, with lack of filial autonomy in the adult parent-child relationship and unexpectedness of the parent's death emerging as the strongest predictors of unresolved grief. Theoretical implications a…
