CuidaTXT: a Text Message Dementia-caregiver Intervention for Latinos

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Latino families with dementia experience substantial disparities in access to caregiver support compared to their non-Latino white peers, putting them at an increased risk for negative emotional, physical and financial outcomes. This R21 will address this research gap by 1) Developing a culturally and linguistically appropriate text message intervention for caregiver support among Latino family caregivers of individuals with dementia and 2) Testing the feasibility and acceptability of CuidaTXT, a multicomponent text message caregiver support intervention culturally and linguistically tailored for the Latino community.

Clinical Trial Description

Latino relatives of individuals with dementia are less likely than non-Latino whites to have access to caregiver support. Text messaging can dramatically enhance the reach of effective culturally and linguistically tailored caregiver support interventions. However, to our knowledge, no text message interventions exist to provide caregiver support among caregivers of individuals with dementia. Text message interventions can capitalize on the fact that Latinos own cellphones and use them to text at a higher rate than non-Latino whites. The overall aim of this proposal is to develop and test the first text message intervention for caregiver support of individuals with dementia among Latinos. This intervention, CuidaTXT [Spanish for self-care and texting], will be available in English and Spanish, incorporate two-way messaging and will tailor text messages to the preferences of Latino caregivers. CuidaTXT will be multicomponent and based on the Stress Process Framework as supported by evidence. The intervention will incorporate social support and coping components including dementia education, problem-solving skills training, social network support, care management and referral to community resources. This research corresponds with Stage 1 of the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development. In Aim 1, researchers will develop a culturally and linguistically appropriate text message intervention for caregiver support among Latino family caregivers of individuals with dementia using user-centered design methods. In Aim 2, researchers will test the feasibility and acceptability of CuidaTXT during six months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
