Using co‐designed films to reduce burden and improve mood among Indian family carers: Results from a pilot randomized clinical trial
The trial design is feasible, the films only slightly reduce carer burden and improve mood but significantly improve carer self-rated physical health. Given smartphone penetration in India (>830 million users), coproduced short online films may be a promising way to support families caring for a person with dementia at home.
