Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a randomized controlled trial comparing a mindfulness-enhanced evidence-based caregiver skill-building intervention (PAACC) to REACH-VA to reduce caregiver burden and increase quality of life of the care recipient. For this, caregivers of persons with ADRD or TBI-AD who have moderate to severe burden will be randomly assigned to either receive PAACC or receive REACH-VA. Both the interventions will include 4 biweekly sessions delivered by trained interventionists, followed by an outcome testing session after the intervention. Outcomes of caregiver stress, health and well being will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the intervention.
