Caregivers play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of Soldiers in the military. According to the 2014 RAND Hidden Heroes report, caregivers experience worse health outcomes, greater relationship strain, and more workplace problems compared to non-caregivers (RAND Hidden Heroes Report, 2014). In order to better serve caregivers, it is critical to determine the level of burden experience by providing caregiver support, identify the health status of the caregiver population, and determine the services used and/or needed to provide caregiver support.
