Daily Experience Study


    Project Description:

    This study examines whether dementia caregivers’ thoughts and feelings relate to their experiences of stress in everyday life. The project will also measure cardiovascular activity, and biological and behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Participants will complete an initial screening and eligible individuals will then be invited to enroll and participate in two in-person study sessions (~1.5 hours each, one including a small blood sample) as well as 14 days of brief at-home surveys via smartphone app with cardiovascular measurement. Compensation is up to $200.
