Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The CAN-DO program fills a significant gap in caregiver psychoeducation programming by focusing not principally on day-to-day care management but on the many substantial system navigation tasks that caregivers assume. Supported by preliminary efficacy data, CAN-DO will employ state-of-the art asynchronous interactive learning methods to enhance caregivers' mastery of skills and confidence to navigate healthcare and other (legal, financial, social service, and family) systems that are crucial to the continued community living of persons affected with dementia illnesses.
This study will enroll 270 dementia family caregivers who will be randomized to take the CAN-DO course immediately or after a waiting period. They will participate in interviews before and after the course; total time of study participation is 6 months.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
CAN-DO Immediate program group
Each participant will be engaged in a baseline interview. Subsequently, each will be asked to take part in follow-up interviews at points 2, 4, 6, and 8 months following the launch of their cohort.
Caregiver as Navigator: Develop Skills Online (CAN-DO) program
Online, asynchronous psychoeducation program for dementia family caregivers. The program is meant to enhance caregivers' knowledge and skills for navigating healthcare, financial, legal, and family systems.
The program has three main sections.
* The first section provides information and how to prepare for using the healthcare system and community-based services in dementia care and support.
* The second provides information about how to be more effective when using the financial and legal system either for yourself or your person.
* The third section of the course provides information about ways to manage and navigate family dynamics present in various caregiving scenarios more effectively.
Attention Control program group
Participants will receive an online course about "Healthy Living" for the first 4 months after randomization.
After the Attention Control participants complete their 4-month interview, they will be invited to participate in the CAN-DO program.
