The goal of this randomized clinical trial it to test the efficacy of CuidaTEXT, the first Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) caregiver support intervention to capitalize on text messaging, among Latinos.
Researchers will compare those who receive the CuidaTEXT intervention to those who do not receive the intervention to see if CuidaTEXT effects Latino caregiver stressors and their negative consequences .
Participants will receive a variety of text messages, from automatic to keyword-drive, regarding ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Participants will also complete measures regarding depressive symptoms, coping, behavioral symptoms, and preparedness for caregiving.

| CuidaTEXT | Behavioral | CuidaTEXT is a multidomain, bilingual 6-month text message intervention that includes delivery and content features tailored to Latino caregivers. All caregivers receive one core daily automatic message on five domains: ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Caregivers can access on-demand automatic messages to expand on the five domains via sending keywords and interact with a coach via a live chat for more personalized help. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in caregiver depressive symptoms | Change in caregiver depressive symptoms from baseline to 6 months as measured by the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). The CES-D-10 is a self-report rating scale that measures characteristic symptoms of depression in the past week (e.g. depression, loneliness). Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (Rarely or None of the Time-Most or All of the Time). The summary score ranges from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating higher severity. | Baseline and 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in caregiver behavioral distress symptoms | Change in caregiver behavioral distress symptoms from baseline to 6 months as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire (NPI-Q).If any of 12 care recipient behavioral symptoms is present in the last month (e.g., repeating, delusions), caregivers rate their own distress on a 6-point scale (Not at All-Extreme). A distress summary score is calculated by adding the scores of all items, with scores ranging from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate higher distress. |
