Long Summary

This article looks at the uses of family-based intervention in the context of the physical health of carers. Using literature review as their main method of research, the paper analyses the physical health outcomes associated with family interventions. Findings revealed that this component of family intervention lacks widespread use and needs to be considered more frequently.
