Annotated Bibliography of Respite and Crisis Care Services
ARCH prepared its first Annotated Bibliography of Respite and Crisis Care in 2002 and has periodically updated it since then. Two compilations are available -- the 2002 Second Edition annotating research published before 2002, and the 2020 5th Edition, which includes studies published between 2002 through 2020.

Articles are grouped as follows: 1) respite targeted to children; 2) respite targeted to older adults; 3) respite targeted to adults with developmental disabilities; 4) respite targeted to multi-age groups; 5) caregiver support for Veterans and their caregivers; 6) literature reviews/meta-analyses of respite care studies; and 7) methodological issues in research on respite and caregiver interventions.
