Note: RCOPE = Religious coping; RMBPC = Revised memory and behavior problems; ADL = Activities of daily living.
Note: For education level, 1 = high school degree or less, 2 = some college, 3 = BA/BS degree, 4 = Master's degree or equivalent, 5 = post-Master's degree.

p < 0.01.
+
p < 0.05.
Note: Independent samples t-tests (two-tailed) for each variable by caregiver status showed that all p-values had a p > 0.09.
Note: The df = 76 for all t-tests except mean cortisol slope score (df = 68).
