About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a questionnaire called CHAT-AD can help people with dementia get better care after leaving the hospital. It is for adults who give unpaid care to an adult relative or partner in the hospital with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, which affects memory and thinking. The study lasts 14 days.

The purpose of this study is to see whether an adapted questionnaire called the Care Partner Hospital Assessment Tool (CHAT) for care partners of hospitalized patients living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) (CHAT-AD) can help people with dementia receive better care after they go home from the hospital. Participants will be a care partner ('family member or friend') who provides unpaid care to a hospitalized adult relative or partner to help them take care of themselves because of dementia. Participants can expect to be in this study for 14 days.

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