Boston College researchers are conducting a research study aimed at developing and evaluating a 6-week virtual group lifestyle intervention designed to promote social connection and reduce loneliness in older adult informal caregivers who are providing care for a loved one with dementia.
We are looking for caregivers who meet the following criteria:
- Aged 65 or older
- The primary informal (unpaid) caregiver for someone living with dementia
- Live with the person with whom they are providing care
- Fluent in English (to participate in group sessions and complete surveys
- Have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone
- Are comfortable using the internet
All participants who complete the six group sessions & final interview will receive a $50 Amazon gift card.
Interested individuals can complete a short eligibility screening here. If eligible, you will be asked to complete the consent form and then fill out a short survey.
We would also be very appreciative if COA staff could share the study flyer with its community members
