Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will use a single-arm pilot trial design with Latino caregivers of PLWD. The investigators will assess self-reported outcomes at baseline and 6-8 weeks post-enrollment using a REDCap survey. Outcome measures will include the Revised Memory and Problem Behavior Checklist and Preparedness for Caregiving Scale. In addition, the investigators will assess caregivers' perceived usability of the online training modules and will conduct qualitative interviews 6-8 weeks post-enrollment. The interviews will assess caregiver satisfaction with and acceptability of the adapted online training modules.
The investigators expect to enroll up to 20 participants. The primary objective of this study is to pilot test the adapted online training modules. Therefore, it is not powered to detect an effect of the intervention.

Participants will receive the STAR-VTF intervention.
STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training & Follow-up (STAR-VTF)
For 6-8 weeks, caregivers will complete online training modules asynchronously. Caregivers will be instructed to complete one module per week. The content of the modules is as follows: Module 1 introduces caregivers to the behavioral treatment of dementia, realistic expectations, and effective communication; Module 2 covers the ABC (antecedents, behaviors, consequences) approach to problem-solving, including rationale and development of an ABC plan; Module 3 instructs caregivers to review the ABC plan and revise as needed; Module 4 covers pleasant events and managing negative thinking; Module 5 instructs caregivers to review the ABC plan, pleasant activities schedule, and to revise as needed; Module 6 covers coping with caregiving and maintaining gains. Each module takes about 45 minutes to complete. The modules use text, pictures, and illustrations with a voiceover presentation. Caregivers will receive the online training modules in their preferred language (English or Spanish).
