Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Telephone Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK II)
The TASK II group will fill out a checklist about their needs and concerns, and will receive written tip sheets by mail that address the needs and concerns that they feel are most important. A nurse will call by telephone (lasting about 30 minutes or less) once a week for a total of 8 weeks, with another call at 12 weeks, to provide more information, answer questions, and to discuss more written tip sheets based on the caregiver's needs and concerns.
Telephone Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK II)
Information, Support, and Referral (ISR)
The ISR group will receive existing educational materials about stroke and caregiving developed by the American Stroke Association and weekly telephone calls by a nurse (lasting about 30 minutes or less) for a total of 8 weeks, with another call at 12 weeks.
