简要总结
This study asks: "what behavioral strategies are needed to help socially disconnected Hispanic/Latino caregivers with significant barriers to increasing connectedness?" This study uses a mixed methods approach to adapt a brief behavioral intervention-Social Engage psychotherapy-for use with socially disconnected Hispanic/Latino caregivers. This study is a single-arm clinical trial of Social Engage psychotherapy. We propose to enroll 10 participants for up to 8 weekly individual Social Engage psychotherapy sessions, over up to 3 months. Subjects will be aged 40 and older, and be caregivers for a community-dwelling family member with ADRD, living with (or in close proximity to) the family member with dementia, experiencing elevated caregiving distress and social disconnectedness.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in Loneliness at Post Intervention
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
The UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 will be used to assess self-reported loneliness. 20 items, rated as to how often the participant has felt a certain way in the prior month (e.g., "How often do you feel alone?") -- "never" (1), "rarely" (2), "sometimes" (3), or "often" (4). Higher scores indicate greater loneliness. However, some individual items must be reverse-coded so that higher total scores reflect greater loneliness (i.e., 1=4, 2=3, 3=2, 4=1). These items (e.g., "How often do you feel there are people you can turn to?") are items 1,5,6,9,10,15,16,19,20. Total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores representing a worse outcome (i.e., greater loneliness). Mean change in total scores (change = baseline intervention scores - post scores) will be reported.
