Burnette, Denise

Journal of Multicultural Social Work, v5 n3-4 p121-37 1997

Describes informal support systems of 42 Latina grandmothers raising children in New York City. Nearly half lived only with grandchildren, 14% had no help, and only 58% of those with help felt it would continue. Barriers to information, referrals, and additional services are discussed, as are implications for practice and policy. Contains 40 references. (Author/TD)
