What this study is
This project will conduct a retrospective clinical database review and a one-time research interview to evaluate outcomes among a sub-set of caregivers (CGs) who were enrolled in the Behavioral Health Laboratory (BHL) Caregiver Outreach and Telehealth Education Program (COTP). The investigators will recruit CGs whose Care Recipients (CR) met criteria for clinically significant cognitive impairment and/or dementia and who received care management services through the COTP.
What's being tested
- BHL COTP
Intervention · BEHAVIORAL
The BHL COTP starts with an initial baseline assessment; following the baseline assessment, it is then divided into several core services. CG receive care management services, which includes contact, support, and active listening, as well as written material regarding caregiving and dementia and referral to appropriate community services. CGs also are offered the Telehealth Education Program (TEP) a manualized program developed to provide both education and psychosocial support for individuals caring for older adults with clinically significant cognitive impairment/dementia.
