Summary

The study goal is to develop a web-based system that uses distance education methods and provides manuals and protocols to train, certify, and monitor the performance of interventionists to deliver the Savvy Caregiver program (Savvy), an evidence-based dementia family caregiver psychoeducation program. The system has a potential to increase the scalability of Savvy.

BEHAVIORAL

Savvy program

Caregiver program (Savvy) is an evidence-based dementia family caregiver psychoeducation program. Provided to groups of 8-12 (typically) individuals caring for family members living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (PLWD), Savvy employs a mechanism of action based in Social Cognitive theory to promote caregivers' solution-focused coping behaviors through the acquisition of appropriate knowledge, skills, and outlook and the enhancement of caregiving mastery.

BEHAVIORAL

Semi-structured video interviews

Semi-structured video interviews will assess the preliminary efficacy of programs led by system-trained interventionists in producing anticipated outcomes in caregiver participants - reduced depression and burden and enhanced caregiving mastery. It will also focus on sense of the completeness and adequacy of the training program, including the training methods, videos, and materials
