Families Affected by Dementia: A Survey of Caregivers

Religion and Free Will Perceptions as Coping Mechanisms in Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia

The purpose of our study is to better understand how caregivers of individuals with dementia cope with their family member's illness. If you are eligible for the study and would like to participate, we will schedule a one-time phone interview, which will last approximately 2 hours for which you will be compensated for your time.

Eventually, results of this study will be used to develop treatments that will hopefully help caregivers cope more effectively with managing dementia in a loved one.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Caregiver of individual with dementia
• Relative who is 60 years or older with dementia
