Study Summary
Background: Partners in Dementia Care (PDC) is a care coordination and support service intervention for veterans with dementia and their family caregivers, delivered through partnerships between VA medical centers and local Alzheimer's Association Chapters. PDC was designed to be a feasible and practical intervention to integrate health, community, and support services. PDC has a standardized protocol for care coordination and support services, including guidelines for care plan assessment, care plan development and implementation, ongoing monitoring, and reassessment. It also offers a structured training curriculum for providers and an operations manual for uniform implementation. Objectives: The primary objective was to test the impact of PDC on outcomes for veterans with dementia and family caregivers. Two specific research objectives and corresponding hypotheses were addressed: 1. To test the impact of PDC on three categories of outcomes: psychosocial well-being outcomes (patient and caregiver effects); health care service use (patient effects only); and health care cost (patient effects only). HI:PDC, compared to usual care, will improve psychosocial well-being for patients with dementia and their caregivers. H2:PDC, compared to usual care, will reduce health care service use for patients with dementia. H3:PDC is preferred to usual care based on cost-benefit analyses. H4:The PDC intervention will be more effective in improving psychosocial well-being and reducing health care service use for patients and caregivers dealing with more severe patient impairment (e.g., cognitive status, functional status, and level of problem behaviors). 2. To evaluate the impact of PDC on role and intra-psychic strains caused by dementia and its care (patient and caregiver effects). H5a:PDC, compared to usual care, will decrease patient role and intra-psychic strain. H5b:PDC, compared to usual care, will decrease caregiver role and intra-psychic strain. H6:The PDC intervention wil
