In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The Family FINGER study enrolls caregivers aged 65 or older who live with and care for a spouse with cognitive impairment in North Savo, Finland (estimated n=100). This intervention builds on the FINGER study, which showed improved cognitive performance and health benefits, including better health-related quality of life. The intervention will be tailored to meet caregivers' specific needs. The overall aim of the Family FINGER trial is to assess the efficacy of this intervention on the positive mental health of spousal caregivers. Specific research questions are as follows: 1. What is the efficacy of the Family FINGER intervention on mental health? 2. What is the efficacy of the Family FINGER intervention on secondary outcome measures: dementia risk, cognition, and lifestyles?
