| Annotation | Recently, caregiving research has moved towards a greater emphasis on the interactive and dynamic processes of the care situation. As a result, many of the questions are multilevel in nature, involving more than one unit of analysis, and placing greater focus on the context of the care dyad. Nevertheless, most caregiver studies use methods that fail to address the hierarchical nature of the care dyad and consequently fail to illuminate variation both within and between dyad processes. The focus of this paper is to promote a dyad approach to the analysis of caregiving data, and to highlight the advantages and appropriateness of multilevel modelling when dealing with clustered or hierarchical data. In particular, the authors discuss how multilevel modelling can be adapted to study change in the care dyad over time, improve the way interventions are evaluated, and enhance our understanding of dyad congruence.
