| Abstract | This study evaluated the impact of an information and referral intervention designed to help family caregivers of people with dementia obtain needed health and human services. Caregivers (N = 608) of community-residing people with dementia were surveyed about their need for and use of community services. Of the 608 caregivers, 203 agreed to be referred to a staff member of an Alzheimer's Association chapter to get help finding needed health and community services. The results of a logistic regression indicated that education, marital status, and perceptions about the helpfulness of services were significant predictors of wanting a referral. The information and referral help given by staff of the Alzheimer's Association chapters resulted in a significant increase in the use of human services, but no change in the use of health services. Practice implications are discussed. (Author). |
