Report: Chronic Disease Family Caregiving Through A Public Health Lens
The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), in partnership with the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD), has released a report, "Chronic Disease Family Caregiving Through A Public Health Lens: The Framework for Family Caregiving and Public Health."
The report provides policy recommendations, implementation opportunities, and messaging content aimed at enhancing the national family caregiver support infrastructure through a public health lens, and aims to identify the appropriate mechanisms and practices which could be administered to implement family caregiver supports via entities such as public health departments, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, direct care workers, insurers, health care providers, and employers.
This framework began development in 2020 with NACDD in order to develop an action plan for expanding the family caregiver support infrastructure within the public health sector and is aligned with actions already defined and outlined in the public health sector. The report is supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation.
