GP4C Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: GamePlan4Care (GP4C)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will have access to full functionality and content of the online system GamePlan4Care (GP4C) including educational resources, skills training, and support tailored to their unique caregiving needs. Additional individualized feedback will be automatically generated based on responses to online questions and will include links to relevant site educational/skill-building content. Participants will be assigned a Dementia Care Specialist who will facilitate caregiver interactions with the online material and provide skills training via telephone or web-video conference. Study participants assigned to GP4C will receive 9 automated emails and 4 phone calls over a 6-month period.
Group II: Resources4Care (R4C)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will receive access to Resources4Care (R4C), a feature-limited version GamePlan4Care system. R4C will serve as an online hub for articles and videos about Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Educational topics will included information on: 1) Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia, 2) Caregiving, 3) Caregiver Stress and 4) Home Safety. R4C will present a page on each topic with active links to two additional online sources on the same topic. Study participants assigned to R4C will receive two emails from their DCS encouraging the caregiver to review specific education materials. Each email will be followed by brief "check-in" calls (15-min each) at three months and five months after randomization.
