Interventions

  • CommunityRx-Dpeer — OTHER
    Essential components of the CRxDpeer intervention include: (1) focused education about common social (e.g. food, housing, transportation) and, specifically, caregiving needs (e.g. caregiver education, stress management, End of Life/Advance Care Planning (EOL/ACP)) and related resources, (2) activation of community resources through delivery of and coaching on use of a personalized local referral list (a "HealtheRx") and (3) boosting through a series of automated proactive text messages and ongoing resource navigational support by text/phone/email/video for utilizing resources. This intervention will be delivered by a peer mentor who is experienced in dementia caregiving and trained to provide 1:1 peer mentorship and resource navigation to dementia caregivers.

Study Details

The CRxDpeer intervention, delivered by a trained peer navigator, in practice called a "peer mentor", includes three evidence-based components: (a) focused education about common social (e.g., food and housing insecurity) and caregiving (e.g., respite and end of life care) needs, (b) activation of personalized community resource information for social and caregiving needs through delivery of a resource list (HealtheRx) at the baseline encounter and coaching on how to communicate with service providers, coordinate services and manage social support (e.g., connect with their peer navigator, reach out to friends or relatives for support, identify support groups, etc.) and (c) ongoing navigation-focused support meant to boost the baseline intervention, including a series of proactive text messages over 12 months. During this time, the subject can respond to and communicate with the peer navigator for ongoing support.
