Interventions

  • CuidaTEXT — BEHAVIORAL
    CuidaTEXT is a multidomain, bilingual 6-month text message intervention that includes delivery and content features tailored to Latino caregivers. All caregivers receive one core daily automatic message on five domains: ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Caregivers can access on-demand automatic messages to expand on the five domains via sending keywords and interact with a coach via a live chat for more personalized help.

Study Details

The goal of this randomized clinical trial it to test the efficacy of CuidaTEXT, the first Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) caregiver support intervention to capitalize on text messaging, among Latinos. Researchers will compare those who receive the CuidaTEXT intervention to those who do not receive the intervention to see if CuidaTEXT effects Latino caregiver stressors and their negative consequences . Participants will receive a variety of text messages, from automatic to keyword-drive, regarding ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Participants will also complete measures regarding depressive symptoms, coping, behavioral symptoms, and preparedness for caregiving.
