Juntos/Together Program to Build Confidence for Complex Care Tasks Among Latino Family Caregivers

Dementia Caregivers Clinical Trial

Official title: Pilot Test of Juntos/Together Program to Build Confidence for Complex Care Tasks Among Latino Family Caregivers

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this study is to culturally adapt and test the effectiveness of Learning Skills Together (LST) in improving self-efficacy among Latino family caregivers. To address this overall goal, the study team propose the following aims: i) culturally adapt the LST intervention for Latino caregivers using a community-engaged approach; and ii) examine the effect of the LST intervention on Latino caregiver self-efficacy, depression, and well-being using a randomized wait-list control group.

Clinical Trial Description

The study team will use a randomized wait-list control group design with blinded outcomes assessment to examine the effectiveness of LST-LC on caregiver confidence and self-efficacy in performing complex care tasks. This design has the advantage of making enrollment more feasible as participants may find the intervention highly desirable and will eventually receive it. Yet, the design provides a randomized comparison with a non-intervention control group. Participants will be individually randomized 1:1 to an immediate intervention group (IG) and a wait-list (delayed) control group (WLC). ;
