About this study

In plain language

This study tests a program for adults with long-term health problems and their unpaid carepartners. It looks at whether working with them as a pair can reduce harmful health effects. It is for adults in rural areas or areas with limited medical services in South Carolina.

This study tests the efficacy of a dyadic intervention to mitigate the adverse health consequences of adults with pre-existing chronic health conditions and their informal carepartners (IC). Socioeconomically disadvantaged, older, and people from rural regions are more likely burdened with greater rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
