About this study

In plain language

This study will develop and test a four-week program that offers money advice and help speaking up about financial needs. It is for family caregivers of people with dementia who are in early or middle adulthood. The study will check if the program is easy to use, practical, and acceptable to caregivers.

The goal of this National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stage 1a study is to develop and pilot test a research- and community-informed financial counseling and advocacy (FCA) intervention for dementia family caregivers in early and middle adulthood. The main question it aims to answer is: Is a research- and community-informed financial counseling and advocacy intervention usable, feasible and acceptable for dementia family caregivers in early and middle adulthood? Participants will engage in a four-week single group financial counseling and advocacy intervention and complete pre- and post-intervention measures addressing financial well-being, caregiver strain, workplace productivity, and flourishing along with usability, acceptability, and feasibility measures.

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