Investigating Patterns of Service Use by Families Providing Care for Dependent Elders

The behavioral model developed by Andersen in 1968 was used to investigate patterns of support service use by families caring for dependent elders. It was hypothesized that differences in background or predisposing factors that serve to define caregivers (e.g., spouse vs. adult-child) would interact with need factors to influence the use of "discretionary" support services (e.g., adult day care), but not influence the use of nondiscretionaryy" services (e.g., hospitalization). Information was obtained on the use of eight different support services from a sample of 503 caregiving dyads. Caregivers were either spouses or adult children of the dependent elder. The results supported the hypotheses derived from the behavioral model and indicate that, among caregiving families, it is important to consider not only the type of service, but who is assessing the need for that service.
