研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine how feasible it is to deliver an online course to reduce out-of-pocket costs of caregiving and reduce financial stress among Latino family caregivers to a family member living with dementia. The investigators hope that that the results of this study will help to reduce high these out-of-pocket costs and improve financial wellbeing for Latino family caregivers.
Caregivers will be asked to to participate in 3 online surveys, in addition to participating in 5, 1.5 hour group-based Zoom learning sessions.

Monthly Out-of-pocket Caregiving Costs
时间窗: Change in median costs from from baseline to 8 weeks post-intervention
Monthly out-of-pocket costs of caregiving is based on the tool used by the AARP Public Policy Institute in their 2016 report on the out-of-pocket costs of caregiving. This measure combines caregiver recall of care costs in the previous month, collected at baseline, with 5 days of daily spending diaries. Daily surveys will be sent using an email with a survey link, and a text message reminder. Monthly costs include less-frequent, high-cost expenditures (e.g., mortgage payment), while daily costs include lower-cost items caregivers may pay for more frequently (e.g., groceries). Daily self-reports of spending will be averaged and multiplied by 6 to approximate the number of days in a month, and added to estimated monthly costs. Positive scores indicate increased out-of-pocket costs. The researchers advise against relying on this outcome. In this pilot study, we found that this measure has qualitatively different meanings for adult child and spousal caregivers.
