Study Summary

The overarching goal of this research is to improve the care of community dwelling patients with dementia and their family caregivers through an innovative model of supportive care that combines an existing, evidence-based intervention for dementia care with an innovative intervention for palliative care in dementia. The intervention projects this care into the homes of patients and caregivers, empowering caregivers, and integrating with ongoing care. IN-PEACE will enroll 200 patient-caregiver dyads, randomizing 100 dyads each to the intervention and usual care arms and follow for 24 months with quarterly outcome assessments. The core of the multi-component intervention is regular, proactive telephone contact by a dementia care coordinator (DCC; social worker or RN) to anticipate and identify patients' symptoms and caregivers needs and address by utilizing specific, evidence-based protocols. Protocols cover basic dementia care, caregiver distress, neuropsychiatric symptoms, pain, navigating the hospital, feeding difficulties, and transition to hospice. The intervention also involves advance care planning and support with caregivers tailored to decisions faced in dementia care, highlighting where palliative care options can replace the default that often results in burdensome treatments. The primary aim of IN-PEACE is to test the effect of the intervention on patients' neuropsychiatric symptoms. Other aims include testing the effect of IN-PEACE on patients' overall symptom outcomes, caregiver mood and distress, and the provision of burdensome treatments to patients (hospitalizations and emergency room visits).

Primary Outcome

The Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire measures the presence and severity of 12 neuropsychiatric symptoms in the person with dementia (PWD) in the past month per caregiver report. Each symptom reported as present is scored on a scale of 1-3 with higher scores indicating more severity of the symptom: mild, moderate, or severe. The NPI-Q Patient Symptom and Severity total score is constructed by summing the value of each presenting symptom's severity and ranges from 0-36 with higher scores i
