Caregiver Research
How and why we do research
Why do we conduct research at Caring for the Caregiver?
We have affiliated faculty conducting a number of studies with family caregivers. These opportunities may include 1) identifying and understanding what kinds of challenges family caregivers may experience, 2) developing programs and interventions, and 3) evaluating programs and interventions to ensure they are beneficial.
What kind of research do we do at Caring for the Caregiver?
We use a range of methods, including surveys, interviews, and occasionally “biobehavioral research,” where we collect physical health information.

THE HomeMed-APD RESEARCH STUDY
Researchers at UT Health San Antonio are conducting a study on medication optimization for patients with dementia and seeking to better understand caregiver perspectives. To refine their approach, they are inviting two caregivers to informally review and provide feedback on interview questions to ensure they are clear, relevant, and easy to understand.
