Summary
This pilot study tested an 8-week text-message program for Korean American caregivers of people with dementia. The messages covered dementia knowledge, caregiving skills, self-care, and support resources. Seventeen caregivers completed the program, and researchers measured changes in their dementia knowledge. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost approach could help fill gaps in culturally tailored support.
