Correlates of Sibling Relationship Quality and Caregiving Reception of Adults with Disabilities

Type
Summary

With sibling relationships being the longest-lasting familial relationship, this study examined whether individuals with disabilities reported the same relationship quality and caregiving as siblings without disabilities. Participants from all over the U.S., who had a range of disabilities, were recruited to participate and complete a web-based survey. Overall relationship quality and caregiving from the non-disabled sibling varied depending upon several individual level factors.
