Sponsor:

University of California, Los Angeles

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Yeonsu Song, PhD, RN, FNP

Brief Summary:

This study aims to refine and evaluate feasibility of a telehealth intervention for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. The intervention will use evidence-based techniques for decreasing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and poor sleep, that are commonly reported among this vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. Improved symptoms among this group may improve their other health outcomes and quality of life and furthermore the quality of care that caregivers provide for persons with Alzheimer's disease during this challenging time.
