What the study is about

The purpose of this study is to develop and test CarePair, a mobile application-based needs assessment and service referral platform for family caregivers of persons with dementia designed to alleviate stress and promote psychosocial well being.

The main aims of this study are

  • To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the CarePair mobile application.
  • To explore the potential for CarePair to reduce feelings of depression and burden, and improve caregivers' feelings of self-efficacy.

Caregiver participants will be asked to log in and use the CarePair application and complete study activities for a six-week duration. Researchers will compare the intervention group to an attention control comparator to see if application use is associated with improved psychosocial outcomes at follow-up.

Being studied: CarePair

Conditions: Caregiver Burden; Caregiver Burnout; Dementia
