Note. Discrepant QOL scores refer to differences between primary caregiver (PC) and other caregiver (OC) overall QOL scores that were .50 or greater (i.e., minimally important difference threshold); IOF = Impact on Family; Depression, anxiety, and global severity scores are from the BSI (Brief Symptom Inventory).
