The recent increase in the incidence of grandparents raising grandchildren has prompted research focusing on the grandparent-grandchild family structure. Using a role theory framework, this article contributes to the current literature by identifying the needs of grandparent caregivers and proposing interventions. A random survey of 6.307 Ohio households found that approximately 10% of households with children consisted of a grandparent providing the majority of care to a grandchild. Intervention strategies are proposed based on grandparent caregivers' documented needs. Implications are noted for state jurisdictions within the context of welfare reform.
