Description

This study investigate the effects of different types of family caregiving (e.g., caregiving for a son/daughter with a developmental disability, caregiving for a spouse/partner, caregiving for a parent) on aspects of the caregiver's daily well-being and health behaviors in midlife and late adulthood. Our findings highlight the importance of psychosocial factors in understanding the toll of caregiving demands on daily well-being and health behaviors in midlife and late adulthood.
