Project CARE-D - Online Caregiver Education for Dementia

Methods to Enhance Caregivers' Knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Managing daily symptoms for people with Alzheimer's Disease or Related Dementia (ADRD) can be challenging and confusing for informal caregivers who are family members or friends and not paid for their assistance. This is due, in part, to gaps in knowledge. Ensuring that informal caregivers are properly educated about ADRD symptoms and treatment guidelines is an essential first step for reducing adverse health events that people living with ADRD experience and addressing the substantial emotional and physical burden that caregivers report. The goal of is project is to improve caregiver education to support treatment adherence for ADRD with retrieval practice. This intervention incorporates principles from the science of learning for structuring retrieval practice to optimize learning and that are effective across the lifespan to compensate for gaps in knowledge and processing capabilities including learners who experience associative memory deficits due to age, their own disease state, or other factors.
