Daily Decisions of Family Caregivers

The purpose of this study is to better understand how family caregivers make decisions in day-to-day life about how to help their loved one with dementia. We are also interested in learning more about how family caregivers prioritize decisions in light of other competing demands in daily life. This study is online and can be done entirely from home.

Discovering Solutions for Dementia Symptoms

The purpose of this study is to better understand when and why people living with dementia have behavioral symptoms such as repeating the same question over and over. We are exploring a variety of possible causes such as environmental triggers, genetic risk factors, inflammatory markers, and microbiome (our gut bacteria). We are enrolling caregivers and their loved one with dementia.
