Variations in Preferred Care Alternatives for the Elderly: Family versus Nonfamily Sources.

Sanders, L. Thomas; Seelbach, Wayne C.

Family Relations, v30 n3 p447-51 Jul 1981

Studied preferences for family versus nonfamily sources of care for the elderly. Preference for family as the primary source of care was found to be independent of age, cohort, gender, education, and marital status, but significantly associated with race. Implications for age stratification theory and family functioning are discussed. (Author)
