| Annotation | Differences in positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) were examined in 275 African American and 343 Caucasian caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from the National Institutes of Health Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Care Health (REACH) study sites in Birmingham (Alabama), Memphis and Philadelphia. African Americans reported higher scores on PAC than did Caucasians. African Americans' higher religiosity partially mediated the relationship between race and PAC. Additional variables that contributed to their higher PAC scores were African Americans' lower anxiety, lower feelings of bother by the care recipient's behaviour, and lower socioeconomic status.
