Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to improve the STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training \& Follow-up (STAR-VTF) intervention for Latino caregivers of people living with dementia. The main objectives are to: (1) culturally adapt STAR-VTF online training modules, (2) pilot test Latino caregivers' responses to the adapted online training modules, and (3) develop an online survey to collect caregiver outcomes in a future study. Participants will receive the STAR-VTF intervention and asked to complete online surveys and participate in an exit interview to provide feedback on their experience.

STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training & Follow-up (STAR-VTF)

For 6-8 weeks, caregivers will complete online training modules asynchronously. Caregivers will be instructed to complete one module per week. The content of the modules is as follows: Module 1 introduces caregivers to the behavioral treatment of dementia, realistic expectations, and effective communication; Module 2 covers the ABC (antecedents, behaviors, consequences) approach to problem-solving, including rationale and development of an ABC plan; Module 3 instructs caregivers to review the ABC plan and revise as needed; Module 4 covers pleasant events and managing negative thinking; Module 5 instructs caregivers to review the ABC plan, pleasant activities schedule, and to revise as needed; Module 6 covers coping with caregiving and maintaining gains. Each module takes about 45 minutes to complete. The modules use text, pictures, and illustrations with a voiceover presentation. Caregivers will receive the online training modules in their preferred language (English or Spanish).
