Key Takeaway
Note: Survey report on informal home care lacks reported prevalence data and key methodology.

This publication is a survey report describing the receipt of informal home care among adults in the United States. The study population consisted of adults aged 18 years and older. The report's objective was to quantify the percentage of this population who received care at home from a friend or family member in the past 12 months.

The specific prevalence result, including the exact percentage or number of adults affected, is not reported in the provided data. No comparator group, intervention details, or secondary outcomes are described. The follow-up period for the survey was the past 12 months.

No information on safety, adverse events, or tolerability related to receiving this type of care is provided. Key methodological details, including the survey's sample size, design, funding sources, and author conflicts of interest, are not reported. The absence of these details and the lack of reported results significantly limit the interpretability and utility of this report for clinical practice. It serves only as a high-level indicator that informal home care is a topic of measurement.
