The purpose of this research is to explain the use of social supports impacting the lives of African-American Baby Boomers, also referred to as the sandwich generation (individuals aged 45–55). A growing number of baby boomers find themselves caught between their children and their aging parents, because they often have commitments and responsibilities to both. This is referred to as being “in the middle.” The primary research question: Is “caregiver burden” a predictor of “social supports” for African-American Baby Boomers? Using an AARP study, variables are categorized as the following: (a) Social Supports, (b) Caregiver Burden, (c) Quality of Life, (d) Family Obligation. Specific needs of African Americans in the baby boomer generation are identified to determine what variable interactions impacts the utilization of social supports in their lives. One of the findings concluded that when all races are included, race on the one hand and caregiver burdens and family obligations on the other, are about equal in explaining social support level.
