In this episode, Matt and Lauren speak with Kristine Ajrouch, PhD—a new member of our CAPRA leadership team. Kristine is a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research whose work focuses on aging, health, immigration, and family in the United States and Middle East; social networks over the life course; and Arab American identity and well-being.
Kristine discusses a recent article that examined an intervention to improve outcomes among Arab American caregivers who provide care to a family member living with dementia. She also shares what this work teaches us about caregiving as a family system rather than the responsibility of a single individual.
