Caregiving in the Northeast US
In 2023, NERCRD partnered with the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development (NCRCRD) to deploy a survey in the Northeast region focused on the caregiving experiences of households in the Northeast U.S. The survey received 4,480 responses from all 13 states in the region, and sheds light on how caregiving intersects with community and economic development in the Northeast region.
Survey Products:
- Preliminary findings from the survey are available in a research brief titled “The economic and social well-being of caregivers in the Northeast Region.” Additional analyses of these data are underway, and a webinar is being planned to share the findings more broadly.
- The Northeast caregiving dataset is available at: https://purr.purdue.edu/publications/4491/1
The caregiving survey, titled “Caregiving Across the Life Course,” is part of the NCRCRD’s recently launched NCR-Stat, a North Central regional dataset being developed as a venue and incentive for interdisciplinary collaboration. The caregiving survey was developed by researchers from NCRCRD, The Ohio State University, the National Farm Medicine Center, Penn State, AARP, University of Minnesota, Purdue University, University of Rhode Island, and South Dakota State University to better understand how caregiving intersects with community and economic development.
