Summary

Three indices; Carers Assessment of Difficulties Index, Carers Assessment of Satisfactions Index and the Carers Assessment of Managing Index (CADI-CASI-CAMI) were used to perform a psychometric evaluation of 295 carers along-side data collection on carer demographics and caregiving characteristics. The study provides initial support for construct validity of the indices and their use with family carers of older people.
