AnnotationCaregiver and care recipient characteristics associated with community service attitudes are examined. Using Community Service Attitude Inventory subscales refined for use across populations, the relationship between caregiver gender, age, relationship, type of medical diagnosis, and scores on attitude subscales were investigated in a sample of 562 American family caregivers. Attitudes towards services were found to be associated with caregiver gender, age, and diagnosis. Implications for research and practice are presented. (RH).
