CarePair
Recruiting soon!
CarePair, funded by the National Institute on Aging, aims to create a behavioral intervention through a self-assessment and referral platform for dementia family caregivers. In this study phase, we will pilot-test the CarePair app, designed to connect dementia family caregivers to tailored services and supports. We aim to evaluate the app's feasibility and acceptability and explore its potential to improve caregiver well-being. During your six-week participation, you’ll use study-provided caregiving resources for 6 weeks, complete two in-depth surveys at the start and end of the study, and take two brief surveys during weeks 2 and 4. You’ll receive $50 for completing all study activities. Your involvement will help us assess CarePair’s effectiveness in real-world settings and guide future improvements.
Living Memory Home for Dementia Care Pairs (LMH-4-DCP)
Currently recruiting
The goal of LMH-4-DCP, funded by the National Institute on Aging, is to create a pre-loss, reminiscence-based web intervention for family caregivers and the persons they care for with early to moderate stages of dementia. The aim of our study is to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of LMH-4-DCP on outcomes including pre-loss grief and care pair relationship quality. As a research participant, you will be asked to engage with the LMH-4-DCP platform three times per week over a two-week period. Assessments of outcomes will be conducted through surveys at baseline and at the two-week follow-up to measure the LMH-4-DCP's impact, with an optional follow-up interview after the two-week intervention is complete.
