The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit (PICT) with a Health Promotion (HP) program.
Participants will be assigned to either the Pain Identification and Communication Toolkit (PICT/intervention) or Health Promotion (HP/attention control) group. There is an equal chance of being placed into either of the study groups, like flipping a coin.
Regardless of the assigned group, participants will meet weekly by telephone with a member of the research team. Each meeting will be approximately 30-60 minutes.
In addition to the activities above, participants will also complete 4 questionnaire packets: one at the start of the study and follow-up questionnaires at 1-, 3-, and 6 months post-enrollment. Questionnaires will ask about different aspects of caregiving (e.g., caregiver burden, pain recognition, intent to attend intervention sessions).
Participants in the PICT/intervention group will also complete a brief exit interview.
All study-related activities and questionnaires will be conducted in English and all sessions will be by telephone or videoconference. Participation in this study is expected to last 6 months.
Detailed eligibility will be reviewed when you contact the study team.
