Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Enhanced usual care and Map Our LifeActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will be introduced to Map Our Life, by research staff. In accordance to the Preparation for Future Care Model, PYL: (1) introduces users to long-term care (LTC) related choices (care expectation); (2) assesses the unique caregiving needs of the care recipient (awareness); (3) educates the users on locally and nationally available home-based resources (information gathering); (4) makes choices about LTC preferences (decision-making), and (5) shares those choices with others (concrete planning).This process is associated with informed and value-based decisions that fit the preferences of the care recipient and increased well-being according to the theory of proactive coping, which states that preparation for future stressors improves the ability to cope in real-time.
Group II: Enhanced usual care and Attention ControlPlacebo Group1 Intervention
In this arm, caregivers will be referred to a website containing information from "Disability and Health Information for Family Caregivers". The content in the attention control is from CDC-sponsored websites that promote healthy activities and behaviors targeting people with disabilities and their family caregivers. Additionally, the content leads users to CDC-sponsored "Caregiving" webpages which assist families in developing care plans. All content is available in English and Spanish.
