Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to culturally adapt a personalized intervention for Hispanic/Latino caring for a loved one with significant memory problems. The intervention will be designed to help Hispanics/Latinos caring for a loved one with significant memory problems in their own unique context to: 1.) understand the importance of social connections for their own health and well-being, 2.) learn to become aware of their own personal barriers to social connections, and 3.) increase their knowledge of local resources for promoting social connections.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline in Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction at Post Intervention
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 hour
The Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scales (BPNSFS) will be used. The BPNSFS consists of 24 items assessing both satisfaction and frustration in the need for competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as posited by Self-Determination Theory. We will report changes in the three BPNSFS subscales measuring satisfaction in: autonomy, relatedness and competence. Items are scored on a 1-5 Likert scale with each subscale score ranging from 4-20. Higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Mean change in subscale scores (change = post intervention scores - baseline scores) will be reported.
Change from Baseline in Basic Psychological Need Frustration at Post Intervention
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 hour

Higher scores indicating greater frustration. Mean change in subscale scores (change = post intervention scores - baseline scores) will be reported.
Change from Baseline in Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities at Post Intervention
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 hour
The PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities measure will be used. This scale assesses the perceived ability to perform one's usual social roles and activities. The scale is administered as a computerized adaptive test (CAT) based on a 35 item bank; items are scored on a 1-5 Likert scale. Items are worded negatively in terms of perceived limitations, but responses are reverse-coded. CAT raw scores are converted into T-scores (0-100), with higher scores representing fewer limitations (better abilities). Mean change in T-scores (change = post intervention scores - baseline scores) will be reported.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from Baseline in General Self-Efficacy Score at Post Intervention(Baseline and 1 hour)
