The hidden toll: tracking the health of millions of unpaid caregivers

NCT ID NCT05007990

Summary

This study aims to understand how the stress of long-term caregiving affects a person's health and well-being over many years. Researchers will follow 2,800 caregivers for up to five years, using surveys, interviews, and optional blood tests to track changes in their social life, mental health, and physical health. The goal is to learn what factors help or harm caregivers' health while they support a loved one with a chronic condition like diabetes or a rare disease.
