Caregivers' Workship Using Witness Dolls
In 2000, the results of a random sample telephone survey of over 1000 adults sponsored by the National Family Caregivers
Association revealed that more than one-quarter (26.6%) of the sampled population is currently caring for a family member
or friend, or had been within the past year. This trend is predicted to increase as the baby boomer generation ages.
