Family Caregiver Online Survey (Dementia and Swallowing Difficulties)

Study Purpose

The Family Caregiver Survey is a one-time, 30-minute, online survey for people living with and caring for a family member with dementia. The goal of this research is to explore the needs of family caregivers, specifically when it comes to managing swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06471660
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This research aims to increase our understanding of dysphagia-related caregiver burden and inform the development of a comprehensive dysphagia intervention, one that promotes the health and quality of life of both the caregiver and the person with dementia. Aim 1. Quantify dysphagia's contribution to burden among family caregivers of persons with dementia across the disease trajectory to identify when may be best to intervene. Aim 2. Characterize the moderating effects of caregiver readiness and support on dysphagia-related burden and care recipient quality of life to identify what are the most appropriate intervention targets.
