Health Areas

Study Purpose

While caregiving can be rewarding, it is also time-intensive, challenging, and affects work productivity and health. It is essential to measure how caregiving impacts caregiver work productivity and health utility to improve the support offered through current policies. Considering intersecting identity factors is imperative to inform equitable policymaking, reduce disparities, and improve caregiver wellbeing.
