Clinical Trial Summary

This cluster randomized pragmatic clinical trial will test the effectiveness and feasibility of embedding the Tele-Savvy intervention, a psychoeducational program for family and other informal caregivers of older adults living in the community with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD), in two health care systems/clinical sites: UConn Health in Farmington, Connecticut, and Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia.


Clinical Trial Description

This cluster randomized pragmatic clinical trial will test the effectiveness and feasibility of embedding the Tele-Savvy intervention, a psychoeducational program for family and other informal caregivers of older adults living in the community with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD), in two health care systems/clinical sites: UConn Health in Farmington, Connecticut, and Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, Georgia. A total of 100 caregivers, 50 at each study site, will participate in this pilot study. At each site, 30 caregivers will be randomly assigned to receive the Tele-Savvy intervention, and 20 caregivers will be randomly assigned to receive the self-guided Caregiving During Crisis online program. All 100 caregivers will complete identical self-administered questionnaires to measure the caregiver-specific outcome measures in this pilot study. Outcome measures will include caregiver mastery (primary outcome), caregiver response to specific memory and behavioral problems, and caregiver stress. Also, we will employ process measures of participation and engagement in the interventions for caregivers in both arms of the trial, as well as implementation outcomes via surveys with clinicians and Information Technology staff at each of the two clinical sites responsible for programming electronic medical records to enable capture and storage of caregiver outcomes. ;
