title: Pre-employment intentions of home care aides.
abstract: The demand for home care aides (HCA) is projected to increase substantially over the next several years. One of the reasons for this projection is the high turnover rates associated with the occupation. Although there are many reasons for the high turnover after HCAs have been hired, their pre-employment intentions are unclear. A better understanding of HCAs' pre-employment intentions may help to decrease recruitment and training costs for home care agencies and improve continuity of care for clients.
