Primary outcomePrimary: Anxiety Symptoms, as Measured by PROMIS Anxiety Short Form — 55.51; 53.93; 56.75; 57.35 T-score
Summary
The "Time for Living & Caring" (TLC) intervention is an online, self-administered intervention, with the purpose of providing informal family caregivers with resources, support, and education to maximize the benefit of their respite time-use (respite is defined as planned time away from caregiving; it can be provided by a formal service provider or informal arrangements within families/networks). The study will use a full-powered pilot sample (anticipated n=150; actual n=166) and a randomized waitlist control design to examine feasibility and initial efficacy of the TLC intervention.
