Main paper in the LIVE@Home.Path trial now published
We are happy to announce that the main paper of the LIVE@Home.Path trial, "Burden and care time for dementia caregivers in the LIVE@Home.Path trial," has been published in the world's leading dementia journal, Alzheimers & Dementia.
Main content
The trial included 280 dyads of home-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers in a stepped wedge design and provided them with the multicomponent LIVE interventions encompassing Learning, Innovation, Volunteer services and Empowerment, and this intervention was delivered by a municipal coordinator.
This intervention had no effect on the trials primary endpoint caregiver burden resource utilization, yet, we found that that the caregiver reported clinical global impression of change improved over the trial, in particular related to the coordinator.
We suggest that these results should be acknowledged when designing future health care services to families affected by dementia.聽
