A Tailored Technology Intervention for Diverse Caregivers of AD Patients
The prevalence of family caregivers is projected to increase in concert with the projected
increase in number of AD patients. The focus of the study is to gather systematic data on the
acceptability and efficacy of a unique technology-based, culturally- tailored psycho-social
intervention program that targets ethnically/culturally diverse family caregivers of patients
with Alzheimer's Disease. The overall goal of the project is to improve the lives of family
caregivers as well as their ability to provide care to their loved one and to reduce
disparities in access to needed services and support among caregiver populations.
