View help for Summary
This partnership-based study identified how many middle and high
school students take care of parents, siblings, and grandparents at
home, via student surveys across Rhode Island public schools (N =
48,508; 46% White non-Latinx; 21% Latinx; 47% girls). Further, we
investigated how students’ caregiving for family related to their school
engagement, belonging, and emotional wellbeing. A sizable proportion of
students reported caring for family for part (29%) or most of the day
(7%). Girls and Black, Asian, Latinx, Native, and Multiracial youth were
more likely to care for family compared to boys and White non-Latinx
youth. Caregiving students from all demographics were more likely to
experience intense sadness compared to non-caregivers, revealing a
need to support caregiving youth in schools. In addition, caregiving girls
reported lower levels of school engagement and school belonging.
However, caregiving for part of the day was related to greater belonging
among Black and Native youth.
