Study on Dementia Help Seeks Family & Provider Volunteers

How Families Can Help

A study being conducted by the University of Texas Medical Branch is holding interviews with individuals and their family caregivers who have sought professional help for concerns about dementia. The purpose of this study is to help us learn more about the difficulties families experience when seeking professional help for dementia.

You could be eligible to participate in this study if:

• You have sought professional help for yourself or a relative about dementia within the past two years.
• You are over the age of 18 and speak English.

How Providers Can Help

You could be eligible to participate in this study if:

• You are a healthcare provider (e.g., physician, nurse practitioner, social worker, administrator) who has interacted with and helped patients who have sought professional help for concerns about dementia or cognitive impairment.
• You are over the age of 18 and speak English.

Participants in this study will be interviewed as a small group that should last about an hour in duration. Interviews can take place in person at an agreed upon, convenient location or over Zoom. Participants will be compensated.
