Negotiation Training for Family Caregivers of People With Alzheimer's Disease
This study tests NegotiAge, an online training program that teaches family caregivers negotiation and communication skills. Researchers will measure whether it lowers caregiver burden, stress, and anxiety. About 200 caregivers will use either NegotiAge or a general educational website. It is a behavioral study with no drug, so no phase applies.
