简要总结
The intervention being tested, CONFIDENCE-AI is a refined version of the original CONFIDENCE intervention made to reduce psychological financial strain and improve management of out-of-pocket care costs while increasing caregiver resourcefulness skills. Participants will be asked to participate in a 4-week intervention that includes participation in four, synchronous group-based Zoom sessions as well as between-session activities to apply learning. Participants will also receive tailored text message notifications from the NeuViCare AI-powered app via text and will be able to submit questions to the app to receive financial well-being information related to caregiving.

结局指标
主要结局
Financial Strain
时间窗: The outcome measure will use the average change score from baseline scores until post-intervention (1 month post-baseline) and 2 months post-intervention (3-months after the baseline).
Financial strain will be measured using the 11-item Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) Scale. A modified version of COST demonstrates validity and reliability when tested among cancer caregivers (α=0.91; range: 0 to 44). COST items are generic enough to be applicable to caregivers to persons PLWD without further modification (e.g., "I feel financially stressed"). Caregivers are asked to indicate if each statement applies to them "Not at all" (0) to "Very much" (4). Higher scores indicate higher levels of financial strain.
Resourcefulness
时间窗: The outcome measure will use the average change score from baseline scores until post-intervention (1 month post-baseline) and 2 months post-intervention (3-months after the baseline).
Resourcefulness is measured using the 28-item Caregiver Resourcefulness Scale (alpha=0.85). This scale has two factors: one focused on help-seeking and another on self-help. Caregivers are asked the frequency at which they use different strategies to manage challenges, and may respond: Not at all like me (0), Pretty much not like me (1), A little bit not like me (2), A little bit like me (3), Pretty much like much like me (4), or Very much like me (5). Items are added together to create a total score. Scores range from 0 to 140, where higher scores indicate higher levels of resourcefulness. The outcome measure will use the average change score from baseline scores
