The primary objective of this study was to explore the relationship between support group participation and families' sense of psychological well-being. Comparison of 301 Alzheimer's disease families attending support groups and 75 control Alzheimer's disease families was undertaken. While correlational analysis did reveal group participation was associated with both lower levels of objective and subjective burden and a more positive sense of morale; regression analysis revealed the most salient predictors of caregiver well-being were the family and Alzheimer's disease victim characteristics.
