This research completed a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey of African American (Black), Puerto Rican and White persons age 60+ living in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. The major purpose of the research was to examine differences in the patterns of care when the primary informal caregiver is employed or unemployed and the relationship of these differences to the use of formal long-term care services among community dwelling elders.

520 $a This research completed a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey of African American (Black), Puerto Rican and White persons age 60+ living in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. The major purpose of the research was to examine differences in the patterns of care when the primary informal caregiver is employed or unemployed and the relationship of these differences to the use of formal long-term care services among community dwelling elders.
520 $a Structured data have been gathered on self-identified, disabled elders and their informal caregivers through in-person and telephone interviews. Data from 382 caregiving dyads are utilized in the analysis. The study applies the Andersen-Newman theoretical model of health services utilization, which posits use as a result of the interaction of predisposing, enabling, and need factors.
520 $a The dependent variables were informal care hours and use of formal services (yes/no). The independent variables included 6 predisposing factors, 3 enabling factors, and 3 need factors. Bivariate and multivariate techniques identified predictors of long-term care use. A linear regression model was estimated for log hours provided by the informal caregiver. Logistic regression models were estimated for use of any formal services. Model fit was assessed using residual analyses for the linear regression model and a goodness-of-fit statistic for the logistic regression models.
520 $a The findings indicated unemployed caregivers were less likely to use alternate options for assisting the elder and had a smaller number of secondary caregivers on average. The two groups of caregivers (employed vs. unemployed) did not vary significantly with respect to other characteristics. African Americans and Puerto Ricans were less likely than Whites to use formal services. Strong predictors of long-term care use were elder's level of disability and caregiver's health. Socioeconomic status was not a strong predictor of service utilization.
520 $a The results supported the use of Andersen-Newman's model of service utilization in explaining patterns of long-term care use. Although some support was shown for the usefulness of examining predictors of health services use separately for the three ethnic groups, further research along those lines were suggested. Recommendations were also made for social policy and social work program development, based on the study findings.
