Caregiver Psychoeducation and Support: Improving Outcomes in AD/ADRD
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating caregiver website support and caregiver brief supportive phone calls for Alzheimer's Disease. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is piloting an internet-based intervention to provide support for caregivers of VA patients with Alzheimer's disease or related memory difficulties (ADRD). Veterans with a clinical diagnosis of ADRD and their caregiver/relatives will be randomized to receive one of two interventions: (1) customary care (cc) and access to an intensive, interactive online education and support website intervention for 6 months, or (2) cc and monthly brief telephone calls with project staff for six month. It is hypothesized that participation in the intensive intervention will result in a reductions in patient problematic behavior and caregiver responses to it, reduced caregiver burden and depression, and improved medication adherence at the end of treatment, and more patients remaining at home through the 12 months post-randomization period..
