What this study is

The overarching goal of this work is to determine methods that improve caregiver education about the behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD) of dementia. The specific goal of this project is to extend our prior work to evaluate the impact of our educational intervention on caregivers' ability to transfer knowledge about the management of ADRD to real-world applied examples.

What's being tested

  • Structured Retrieval Practice (SRP)

    Intervention · BEHAVIORAL

    Participants will complete self-paced practice tests for the 4 categories assigned to the SRP intervention. Specifically, the practice test will consist of 24 total questions: 6 multiple-choice questions for each of the 4-categories - 3 questions on triggers and 3 questions on symptom management. Each question will have 1 correct answer and 3 incorrect lures. The vertical order of responses on the screen will be randomized per participant. Questions will be presented in a blocked fashion such that participants will answer all 6 questions in one category (e.g., anxiety), in a random order, before moving to the next (e.g., hallucinations). After each multiple-choice answer, participants will receive detailed, corrective feedback. They will self-pace their study of feedback. Participants will complete 3 practice retrieval blocks.
