Summary

This RCT design will enroll 256 informal caregivers (spouse/partner or child) of HHC patients with HF/CI and 60 patients with HF and mild to moderate CI (60 dyads). After collecting baseline data, we will block randomize the caregivers 1:1 to the ViCCY intervention or comparator group, stratifying randomization by caregiver sex (male/female), relationship (spouse/partner or child), and race (white/other)- factors known to influence caregiving burden, perceived stress, and receptivity to the intervention. We will encourage caregivers to use their own devices but provide tablet devices with wireless network access if needed. The intervention group will receive 10 sessions of ViCCY over 6 months.
