| Annotation | One of the striking findings of Linda Teri's article is an absence of published UK studies. This is of concern because British policy-makers are often unhappy about using North American research findings to guide decision-making. Gilhooly also asks why there has been so little research on patient outcomes. She concludes that, unlike Teri, she is not convinced that there is much research evidence that training family carers has much impact on patient outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, irritability and wandering. There is not enough research to draw conclusions about the efficacy of family carer training; hence, more research is needed. (RH). |
