  Abstract

Caregiving has only recently been acknowledged by the nation as an important topic for millions of Americans. A psychological or sociological approach to caregiving services has been most often applied, with little attention to the population-based public health outcomes of caregivers.

We conceptualize caregiving as an emerging public health issue involving complex and fluctuating roles. We contend that caregiving must be considered in the context of life span needs that vary according to the ages, developmental levels, mental health needs, and physical health demands of both caregivers and care recipients.

Key Words: Aging, Disability, Health Policy, Health Promotion, Public Health Practice, Women's Health
