Product Description:

Family caregivers provide the predominance of care for loved ones requiring caregiving support in the United States. Quality of life and caregiver burden are both impacted as caregivers age and their health declines. The purpose of this study was to determine if the domains of caregiver burden and informal social support were predictors of quality of life for aging parental caregivers of adult children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
