Abstract
Using the 2009 California Health Interview Survey, this study examines and compares the sociodemographic characteristics and health conditions of Asian (N = 591), Hispanic (N = 989), and White (N = 6,537) American caregivers of older adults by race/ethnicity and three successive immigrant generations. Second-generation Asian and Hispanic caregivers were the youngest while White counterparts were the oldest. The later the Asian and Hispanic generation, the better their educational attainment, but the poorer their health status. Findings suggest the importance of awareness of generational differences so that social workers can provide culturally and generationally appropriate services to racially/ethnically diverse caregiver populations more effectively.
