Life Enhancing Activities for Family Caregivers (LEAF 2.0)
Randomized Trial of a Technology-based Positive Emotion Intervention for Informal Caregivers of Individuals With Alzheimer's Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the proposed intervention, called LEAF (Life Enhancing Activities for Family Caregivers) is to reduce burden and increase well-being in Alzheimer's Disease caregivers through the practice of positive emotion skills. We will employ two methods of online delivery of LEAF: a Zoom facilitated version and a self-guided version, and compare them to an emotion-reporting waitlist control condition. If effective, the LEAF program can be disseminated more broadly to caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
