Description
Although many formal services are available to caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease, they are greatly underutilized. While little information exists regarding the service use of caregivers as a whole, even less information exists regarding the service use of a growing subset of caregivers: working caregivers. The present study sought to predict the volume (hours) of service utilization by working caregivers who were using services (N = 32), based upon an expanded version of the Andersen and Newman model of service use. It was found that need and enabling variables were predictive of hours of service use at the trend level. It was also found that caregivers working full time found services to be more helpful than those working part time.
