Study Summary
Care partners of people living with dementia often experience ongoing stress and unmet support needs. This study evaluates the feasibility of a low-intensity, supportive education and resource intervention for care partners who previously participated in an observational study. Participants complete a baseline phone interview and a short stress journaling activity, followed by a six-week series of automated educational and supportive messages delivered by text message or email. Participants may also take part in an optional peer support focus group. The study examines caregiver stress, resilience, engagement with resources, and participant feedback to inform future caregiver support interventions.
Primary Outcome
Caregiver stress will be assessed using the Stress Thermometer, scored from 0 (no stress/distress) to 4 (extreme stress/distress). Higher scores indicate greater stress (worse outcome).
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Care Partner Support and Education Messaging
