Study Background
For those caring for a loved one with memory problems, every day is a balancing act. Sometimes you may have to prioritize certain tasks over others, or some tasks may not get done at all.
In this study, we want to learn more about how family caregivers make decisions in day-to-day life about how to help their loved one with dementia. We are also interested in learning more about how family caregivers prioritize decisions in light of other competing demands in daily life.
If you have a loved one with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, and you are helping them with daily activities, you may be eligible for this 100% online research study. Your participation may help future researchers design better ways to support family caregivers. Advance research today and join our study!
