{"doi":"10.1002/alz.70324","title":"Participant perspectives on online interventions for diverse caregivers of persons living with dementia","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: The evidentiary base for dementia caregiver programs is still emerging and is less clear for diverse racial and ethnic minoritized populations. We explored in-depth perspectives about program participation, acceptability, and recommendations from diverse caregivers who completed one of three versions of the Savvy Caregiver Program. METHODS: We conducted 19 focus groups with 92 caregivers who participated in an online version of the Savvy Caregiver Program (Savvy Caregiver Program, Savvy Express, and Unidos en el Cuidado, a Spanish-language version). Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. RESULTS: Caregivers reported positive appraisals of the program's acceptability. Time constraints and a desire for more peer interaction were prominent. Key themes included programmatic features, cultural and gender considerations, program and research participation, and suggestions for improvement. DISCUSSION: Our findings can inform programmatic improvements to future interventions for family caregivers of persons living with dementia, applicable to both online and on-site settings. HIGHLIGHTS: Diverse caregivers report positive experiences in online dementia caregiving interventions. Key takeaways include dementia knowledge, self-care, and caregiving strategies. Cultural and gender considerations highlight gaps in caregiver program representation. Participants suggest expanding discussion time and offering follow-up sessions.","journal":"Alzheimer s & Dementia","year":2025,"id":528323,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":2,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9316,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":878263,"name":"Jiaming Liang","orcid":"0000-0001-7273-495X","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1406667,"name":"Yvette I.
