Overview
Latino caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias experience high levels of stress burden and depressive symptoms and are underrepresented in caregiver intervention research.

This study aims to culturally adapt the Tele Savvy intervention for Latino caregivers and evaluate its preliminary efficacy in a Stage 1b single arm clinical trial. The intervention is delivered remotely and includes weekly group sessions and asynchronous instructional videos. Primary outcomes focus on caregiver mastery with secondary outcomes including stress burden depressive symptoms and self efficacy.
