Abstract

Aim. To provide a critical review of research literature on the health of grandparents raising grandchildren, and identify directions for future research. Methods. Approaches used to access the research studies for this review included a comprehensive search using relevant electronic databases and a thorough examination of the references in each published study. Findings. All studies but one were published after 1990. Samples consisted primarily of African‐American and Caucasian grandmothers in the United States of America. Earlier studies tended to describe health and other related concepts while more recent studies began to examine relationships between concepts. Most of the studies had a cross‐sectional design and only one evaluated interventions. Inconsistencies in the results of these studies were prevalent. Conclusions. Evaluation studies, longitudinal designs, and more varied study samples including cross‐cultural comparisons are needed to advance knowledge about grandparent caregivers’ health.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
