Stress and Hypertension Among African American Female Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Protocol for a Pilot Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial
Wright KD, Richards Adams IK, Helsabeck NP, Rose KM, Moss KO, Nemati D, Palmer N, Kim B et al.. JMIR research protocols, 2025-03-27
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Results This study was approved by the institutional review board in April 2022 and funded in May 2022. Participants reported that MIM DASH was acceptable (at a mean score of 59.08, SD 7.38, compared to 60.83, SD 5.56 for caregiver training). These results will inform the design of a larger randomized controlled trial to evaluate the intervention's efficacy and scalability further.
