Overview
Why is this study being done?
The I-CARE 2 study is looking for unpaid caregivers of community-dwelling
individuals living with dementia to test a technological intervention. The purpose of the study is to test the effects of a smart phone application on alleviating caregiver burden and improving the behavioral and psychological health of people living with dementia.
Who can take part?
Unpaid primary caregivers of community-dwelling
individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (ADRD).
Description
What will happen during the study?
- You will be randomly assigned, like the flip of a coin, to use one of two smart phone applications and will receive training to use your assigned app.
- You will be asked to use the app every two weeks.
- Your participation in the study lasts one year, and in addition to using the app, you will complete a series of assessments at baseline, six, and 12 months.
- These assessment appointments take between 1-1.5 hours to complete and take place over the phone, via Zoom, or in person by request.
Incentive/compensation
- You will receive a $25 gift card each time you complete an appointment (baseline, 6- and 12- months), and an additional $25 gift card if all three appointments are completed, for a total of up to $100 in gift cards.
