About this study

The goal of this randomized clinical trial it to test the efficacy of CuidaTEXT, the first Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) caregiver support intervention to capitalize on text messaging, among Latinos. Researchers will compare those who receive the CuidaTEXT intervention to those who do not receive the intervention to see if CuidaTEXT effects Latino caregiver stressors and their negative consequences . Participants will receive a variety of text messages, from automatic to keyword-drive, regarding ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Participants will also complete measures regarding depressive symptoms, coping, behavioral symptoms, and preparedness for caregiving.

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