Summary

This study tests whether a low-intensity program of educational texts and emails can reduce stress and burden for people caring for a loved one with dementia. Twenty caregivers who previously joined an observational study will receive automated supportive messages for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in stress and burden to see if this approach is helpful and practical.
