Rural-urban and regional variations in aspects of caregiving, support services and caregiver health in the USA: evidence from a national survey
Study findings underscore caregiving's multifaceted and complex nature and identify important urban-rural and regional differences in caregiving in the USA. Healthcare providers and healthcare organisations can have an important role in identifying and mitigating the negative impacts of caregiving on caregivers' overall health. Interventions and support should be tailored to caregivers' demographic backgrounds, addressing regional differences.
