Caregivers of the Frail Elderly: A National Profile
Abstract
The 1982 National Long-Term Care Survey and Informal Caregivers Survey provided data for the first national estimates of informal caregivers to noninstitutionalized disabled elders. The descriptive profile confirmed previous research findings that informal caregivers are predominantly female, that a sizeable proportion is over age 65, and that a minority use formal services. There also was evidence for competing demands: 21% reported child care responsibilities, 9% indicated that they had quit their jobs, and 20% reported other work conflict.

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.
