Summary
This trial is designed to help African American daughters make healthcare decisions for their parents who are living with memory loss to improve the quality of life of African American families.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American adult daughters aiding their parents with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or dementia. Participants must be able to use email and the internet, speak English, and help with healthcare decisions. Excluded are those with major neurological diseases other than Alzheimer's or severe psychiatric disorders.
What is being tested?
The study aims to create a decision-making program tailored for African American families where daughters make healthcare choices for parents with memory loss. It involves surveys/interviews about caregiving experiences and testing a culturally specific prototype intervention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on interviews and surveys rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects from medications or interventions typically associated with clinical trials.
