Abstract

This paper documents the use and interest in support strategies such as telephone support, newsletters, and computer services, among caregivers of all ages. Data obtained from telephone interviews with community living caregivers of persons with dementia (n = 148) showed substantial interest in the use of these types of services. Using a theoretical framework, this paper identifies caregiver and care-receiver characteristics associated with those interested in the utilization of these support strategies. The implications of these findings for program planning and future research are discussed.
