Dementia caregivers Dementia caregivers Bay Area dementia among Hispanics dementia research study

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is reaching out to Bay Area Hispanics for a new research study focused on caregivers of people with dementia. Through a targeted ad campaign, the university is looking to enroll caregivers in the study and compensate them for their participation.

Conducted by the university’s School of Nursing, the study is titled, ‘Understanding the Day-to-Day Experiences of Dementia Caregivers’. The purpose of the study is to learn more about the day-to-day experiences of dementia caregivers, including how often certain behaviors happen, and situations that are stressful. The information from caregivers will help the university provide better support in the future to other caregivers and better care and support for people with dementia.


The university is looking for participants who are age 18+ and provide unpaid care or assistance to a person with dementia to participate. The caregiver needs to live with the person with dementia. Participants will be compensated for their time depending on how many surveys they complete. Compensation is sent by email in the form of amazon e-gift cards.
