Informal Care Receiving Among Older Adults: The Role of Multimorbidity and Intersectional Social Position
The study highlighted the complexities of informal care-receiving characteristics among older adults, particularly among those with cognitive difficulties, and the ways in which race/ethnicity and sex are associated with care-receiving patterns. The findings highlight a need for person- and family-centered interventions sensitive to the diverse needs of care-recipients and caregivers.
