The TBI-AD/ADRD Caregiver Support Intervention (TACSI): Protocol of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluation of a Remote Intervention for Family Caregivers

Having a dual diagnosis of AD/ADRD and a history of TBI is relatively common. However, there are currently no caregiver support interventions specific to this dual diagnosis. It is important to support these caregivers as they encounter the unique challenges of managing TBI and AD/ADRD. This pilot RCT will help determine if the TACSI program can help to increase caregiving skills and strategies and provide support to improve mood and reduce stress for caregivers of individuals with AD/ADRD and a history of TBI, and also determine if it is feasible to proceed to a full-scale RCT.
