A Portrait of Unpaid Care in Nova Scotia - Healthy Balance Research Program, April 2006 " Executive Summary - We learned in this study that an estimated 36% of Nova Scotians gave care to someone because of a long term condition, mental illness or temporary difficult time. The higher prevalance rates of caregiving in Nova Scotia compared to the Canadian rates raises questions about why this occurs and what as a society we are doing to support these caregivers."
The Healthy Balance Research Program: A community alliance for Health Research on Women’s Unpaid Caregiving is sponsored by the Atlantic Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health and the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women and receives financial support from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
