Abstract:
Abstract Dementia care research typically focuses on primary family caregivers with limited consideration of their engagement with a broader care network and the geographic area in which they reside. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed care networks of 163 primary caregivers and their relative living with dementia in rural Virginia. Six distinct care network types emerged based on the primary caregiver's gender, relationship to the person living with dementia, and presence of other informal caregivers. Networks differed by the caregiver’s emotional connectivity with family/friends and

Caring for a family member who is ill can be a draining experience (Cooper et al., 2006; Daire, 2002; Zarit et al, 1980). Providing care for a family member that is living with HIV/AIDS is potentially even more stressful because of social meanings associated with HIV/AIDS infection (Stajduhar, 1998) and the contagious nature of the HIV virus (Powell-Cope & Brown, 1992). Research indicates that most caregivers are female (Bunting, 2001; Songwathana, 2000).

Abstract:
We adapted a violence-prevention, parenting program (the Irie Homes Toolbox, or IHT) for integration into Jamaican preschool services.
