What this trial studies

This interventional study piloting a financial counseling and advocacy intervention targets dementia family caregivers in early and middle adulthood. It uses a single-group design over four weeks, with pre- and post-intervention assessments focused on financial well-being, caregiver strain, workplace productivity, and overall flourishing, plus usability and feasibility metrics. The intervention is research- and community-informed and delivered via Zoom, requiring English proficiency and access to technology. Recruitment is from the University of Utah and participants are caregivers providing at least 20 hours of care per week. Outcomes will inform whether the approach is practical and acceptable for broader testing.
