Testing the Effects of a Text Message Caregiver Support Intervention for Latinos
This trial tests CuidaTEXT, a text message program for Latino family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. Researchers want to see whether the messages ease caregiver stress and depressive symptoms. Messages cover education, social support, self-care, and care tips. The phase is listed as not applicable, which is common for behavioral studies with no drug involved.
