Randomized Trial of a Technology-based Positive Emotion Intervention for Informal Caregivers of Individuals With Alzheimer's Disease

Northwestern University·interventional·Posted Aug 1, 2018·Updated Dec 23, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating LEAF Positive Emotion Intervention and Emotion Reporting Control Condition for Caregivers. Completed, enrolled 386 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The goal of the proposed intervention, called LEAF (Life Enhancing Activities for Family Caregivers) is to reduce burden and increase well-being in Alzheimer's Disease caregivers through the practice of positive emotion skills. We will employ two methods of online delivery of LEAF: a Zoom facilitated version and a self-guided version, and compare them to an emotion-reporting waitlist control condition. If effective, the LEAF program can be disseminated more broadly to caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
