Summary

This study tested a distance-learning program that trains family caregivers to reduce care-resistant behaviors (like agitation or aggression) in people with Alzheimer's dementia or traumatic brain injury. About 88 participants and their unpaid caregivers took part. The goal was to see if the training could improve quality of life for both the person with the condition and their family, while also lowering caregiver stress and healthcare costs.
