Participant Flow

Participants recruited from multiple sources using a multifaceted approach, including direct referrals from community agencies providing aging and health services using presentations, flyers, newsletters, and social media.

A total of 161 dyad pairs (i.e., a person with dementia and their care partner) were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the personalized or standard arm.

Personalized Intervention
Innovations in Dementia Empowerment and Action (IDEA): 9 60-minute virtual sessions for 6 weeks and 4 15-minute follow-up phone sessions for 4 months Innovations in Dementia Empowerment and Action (IDEA): The IDEA intervention has the same exposure to treatment as the RDAD intervention. The behavioral component of the treatment manual is adapted to incorporate 3 risk factors that are empirically known to affect midlife and older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations.These include: 1) identity management; 2) stigma-related adverse/traumatic life events; and 3) lack of social support. All other aspects of the treatment are preserved.
Standard Intervention
Reducing Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD): 9 60-minute virtual sessions for 6 weeks and 4 15-minute follow-up phone sessions for 4 months Reducing Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD): The RDAD intervention includes behavioral management training for caregiver and activities and exercise training for caregiver and care receiver.
