Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Based on a wait list trial design, and 4 observation points (baseline, post-intervention, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups), the investigators propose to demonstrate the efficacy of this new intervention (Aim 1), and evaluate for potential moderating conditions across subgroups (Aim 2; age, gender, educational level, etc.). Based on this quantitative component, the investigators will answer the following two aims:
Aim #1. (Efficacy) Compared to a waitlist control group, is Unidos efficacious with regards to primary outcomes-PHQ-9 depression symptoms, RMBPC reactivity to memory and behavior problems, anxiety symptoms, and secondary outcomes-caregiver mastery, competence, and meaning over time?
Aim #2: (Moderators). Do moderating conditions exist such that the intervention is more or less efficacious for subgroups based on age, gender, PLWD functioning?
Qualitative component: After class completion, the investigators will draw from 40-50 focus group participants to elucidate the satisfaction and acceptability of the program. Both Unidos and wait list control participants will be randomly selected for focus group interviews which will be guided by open-ended inquiries around the nuanced, in-depth perspectives of program participation, acceptability, and recommendations (Aim 3).
Aim #3: (Experience/Satisfaction). Will qualitative reports from focus groups signal satisfaction, nuanced differences with respect to the nature, structure, cultural/ language considerations of Unidos, and recommendations?
Based on the scientific team and community partner's established expertise in dementia care, caregiving services, and underrepresented groups, the project is well positioned to address the linguistic and cultural preferences and needs of diverse Californians and the providers that serve them.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: Treatment Group Receives the Classes Soon after Randomization
The Spanish-language caregiver classes are called Unidos en el Cuidado and are taught online by Alzheimer's Los Angeles. Sessions are provided at no cost and held weekly for about 2 hours.
Skill-building classes
Unidos en el Cuidado is a manualized, multi-family group intervention provided at no cost vis-à-vis videoconferencing or on-site by trained facilitators Sessions are held weekly for 1.5 hours. Class components include caregiver role identity; skills-building; knowledge attainment; attitudinal changes; resource-sharing; practice/role-plays; homework; videos, handouts. Classes will be provided online with some classes offered in the community, if available
Group B: Wait List Control Group Receives the Classes after a Waiting Period
This wait list control group receives the same classes but after a 3-4 week waiting period.
Wait list control group
The intervention is the same; the wait period is longer to receive the intervention described in Group A.
