NCT ID NCT07208162
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is adapting a program called SHARE to better support African-American families dealing with early to moderate dementia. Researchers will work with 120 pairs of people with dementia and their caregivers to test the adapted program. The goal is to see if the program is helpful, easy to use, and improves the relationship between the person with dementia and their caregiver.
