Caregiving in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias: Insights from Diverse Family Structures

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The growing population of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) has increased the demand for informal care by family members and friends. While a growing number of studies about ADRD caregiving have engaged caregivers from diverse racial, ethnic, and/or sexual and gender minority backgrounds, more research is needed regarding the lived experiences of these populations of caregivers and the barriers and facilitators to supporting their well-being. This special collection aimed to understand better the impact and complex dynamics of caring for someone living with ADRD within diverse family structures.
