This study compared the service needs, time demands, and subjective 'burden of parent caregivers of children and adults with mental retardation across the life cycle. It also examined the extent that family and child characteristics and service use contributed to parents' time demands and burden. This population-based study in the Netherlands included 2,573 parents of children with mental retardation living at home. There were significant differences by age of the child in demographic characteristics of the family, child's level of disability and adaptive functioning, service use, caregiving time demands, and subjective caregiving burden. The level of education of parents, the child's level of disability, and service use were associated with parental time demands and caregiving burden.
