Acknowledgments
This study was funded in part by a Demography Fellowship from the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development. Portions of these analyses are also reported in Lima, Allen, Goldscheider, and Intrator (2008)’s article, “Spousal Caregiving in Late Midlife Versus Older Ages: Implications of work and Family Obligations,” in Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (grant number NIA U01AG009740) and is conducted by the University of Michigan. We would like to thank Frances Goldscheider and Orna Intrator for their guidance early on in the process. Dr. Goldscheider provided guidance with the conceptualization of the study, and Dr. Intrator advised the statistical analyses, suggesting imputation techniques and sensitivity analyses to strengthen the methods and confirm the results. We would also like to thank Cambria Press for their interest in our work and their flexibility and guidance throughout the entire process.
