Using Active Engagement to Support Dementia Caregivers: Results from the Enhancing Active Caregiver Training (EnACT) Study
Initial results demonstrate that EnACT has the potential of reducing perceived stress, improving preparation and positive aspects of caregiving, while steadying burden across time. Time in session and number of sessions may influence outcomes, suggesting a need for refinement in intervention dose. Data from this pilot is being used to prepare a fully powered randomized controlled study.
