This article examines caregiver and care recipient characteristics associated with community service attitudes. Using Community Service Attitude Inventory subscales that were refined for use across populations, the relationship between caregiver gender, age, relationship, type of medical diagnosis, and scores on attitude subscales were investigated in a sample of 562 family caregivers. Attitudes toward services were found to be associated with caregiver gender, age, and diagnosis. Implications for research and practice are presented.
