The purposes of this study were to examine the relationships among knowledge of and confidence in health care services (HHCS), acculturation, characteristics of family caregivers of Mexican descent, and differences by caregivers' relationship (spouse or adult child). A sample of Mexican-descent older adults and their caregivers was recruited (n = 74 dyads) in Arizona. Each participant completed questionnaires on knowledge, confidence, and acculturation. There were moderate but significant associations among higher Anglo Orientation with Knowledge and with Confidence. Fear of HHCS was positively associated with higher Anglo Orientation and English Language Preference; and negatively associated with Mexican Orientation and Spanish Language Preference. For Spouse caregivers, Fear of HHCS was positively correlated with higher Anglo Orientation and English Language Preference; for Offspring caregivers, Fear of HHCS was negatively correlated with Mexican Orientation and Spanish Language Preference. Results support assessing caregiver cohort and socio-cultural context to decrease HHCS use disparities by Mexican-descent caregiving families.
