Summary

This study tests an online program called CAN-DO that teaches dementia caregivers skills to handle healthcare, financial, legal, and family issues. 270 caregivers will take the course either right away or after a wait, and complete surveys over 6 months. The goal is to see if the program reduces stress and improves confidence.
