Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of the VOCALE LBD+ intervention in caregivers of persons living with Lewy Body Dementia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- What is the extent to which the VOCALE LBD+ intervention affects caregiving mastery scores at the end of the eight-week intervention
- What is the extent to which a change in caregiving mastery scores is retained four weeks after the end of the VOCALE LBD+ intervention
Participants will be asked to participate in a fully online asynchronous VOCALE LBD+ intervention that involves a moderated web-based discussion platform, peer-to-peer support, didactic training, and problem-solving skill enactment.
