Participate in the Mind-AID study for care partners
This study aims to evaluate an online mindfulness-based program to help care partners of people living with dementia.
Are you a caregiver overwhelmed by daily challenges?
It is common to feel overwhelmed by persistent worries or repetitive negative thoughts. This study aims to evaluate an online mindfulness-based program (Mind-AID) designed to reduce repetitive negative thinking in informal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurocognitive disorders.
By participating, you will help researchers determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the Mind-AID program.
The information gathered will be used to refine the program and shape a future full-scale trial, with the ultimate goal of creating an accessible tool to support caregiver mental health.
What Will Happen in This Study?
Participants are randomly assigned to either the Mind-AID program or the Educational Workshop for Caregivers (EWC).
Mind-AID participants will engage in a mindfulness-based intervention, including online guided meditations. EWC participants will receive practical information and strategies for their caregiving role.
Both programs are entirely online and last 8 weeks. Participants will complete brief weekly questionnaires about their experience. To track long-term impact, participants will also complete two evaluation surveys: one immediately following the 8-week program and a final follow-up 12 weeks later. After this final evaluation, EWC participants will receive full access to the Mind-AID program for their personal use
