Proper Citation: Resources for Enhancing Alzheimers Caregiver Health (RRID:SCR_003638)
Description: Data set from six research sites that examined the feasibility and outcomes of the most promising home and community-based intervention approaches for enhancing family caregiving for Alzheimers Disease (AD) and related disorders (ADRD). A unique feature is the examination of AD burdens and interventions in three ethnic groups (Caucasians, Hispanics, and African Americans). Caregiver/care recipient dyads are entered into the study using standardized eligibility criteria. The dyads are randomized at each intervention site using site-specific procedures. Standardized assessment batteries are administered at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. The five general types of REACH interventions are: Individual Information and Support strategies that increase caregivers' understanding of dementia and their particular caregiving situation; Group Support and Family Systems efforts that provide caregivers with multiple forms of social support; Psychoeducational and Skill-Based Training approaches that teach caregivers coping and behavioral management strategies; Home-Based Environmental interventions that modify the home environment's effect on the care recipient and support the caregiver; and Enhanced Technology Systems such as home-centered computer/telephone networks that are designed to reduce caregiver distress and isolation. REACH II was funded in 2001 to test a single multi-component intervention among family caregivers of persons with ADRD, building upon the findings of REACH. Recruitment for REACH II was completed in January 2004 with 642 participants entering the study across 5 participating sites.
