International Journal of Public Health, 2014, vol. 59, issue 2, 308 pages

Abstract: Supporting two generations was associated with both better self-rated health and poorer mental health, depending on the type and direction of the transfers. This generation of women have substantial caring responsibilities. Strategies to address the stresses associated with bi-directional intergenerational transfers are needed.
