 Data analysis was supported by the John A. Hartford Social Work Initiative, Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship program, and a Social Work Leadership Award from the Soros Foundation’s, Project on Death in America. The original data were collected under the auspices of an NIH grant to principal investigator, Dr. Sarah Forbes (National Institutes of Health NINR R15NR04974). The author has no financial or other conflict of interest to report. I thank Dr. Sarah Forbes-Thompson for allowing the use of these data for my doctoral dissertation, from which this manuscript was developed. This paper was presented, in part, at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine “Nursing Home Family Member’s Emotional Support Needs.”
