About this study

This is a single arm pilot study of 6-8 families to test the feasibility and acceptability of a modified version of the REACH-VA caregiver intervention in Vietnam.

This study will test the modified model in Vietnam. Participants in this study will be adult family caregivers of non-institutionalized persons with dementia who are living in Hanoi, Vietnam. They will receive 4-6 sessions delivered over the course of 2-3 months that will included the following components: 1) education about the nature of the disease, 2) risk assessment, 3) enhancing caregiver skills and problem-solving, and 4) caregiver stress reduction.
