This study examined how burden and coping styles mediate the relation between three specific cultural factors and the mental and physical health of African American and White family caregivers of dementia patients. Two factors of familism (Familial Obligations and Perceived Support from the Family) and the Cultural Justification factor were examined. Consistent with the hypothesis, Familial Obligations had an indirect effect on poor mental and self-reported physical health outcomes via avoidant coping. Contrary to the hypothesis, Perceived Support from the Family had no effect on caregivers' mental and physical health outcomes. Cultural Justification was associated with active coping yet did not have the hypothesized protective effect on health outcomes. This factor was also associated with avoidant coping, which resulted in poor mental and self-reported physical health outcomes. These findings suggest that feelings of obligation may account for a significant proportion of the negative effects of familism on caregivers' health.
