February 2006: — Family Caregivers are asked to participate in a survey about juggling work and caregiving responsibilities. The University of Indianapolis is conducting a survey of family caregivers that are at least 45 years of age or older and work at least 20 hours per week, either self-employed or for a company.

Participants must also be the primary caregiver for a loved one that is 55 years or older with a cognitive or physical impairment.

The results of this survey will be used to explore the variables associated with the stress of caregiving and working and will be used to educate employers on the needs of the caregiving population.

Information collected will be analyzed by Occupational Therapy graduate students at the University of Indianapolis.
