They often do this with little education or support and commonly report feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Providing education and support to family caregivers has demonstrated benefit on the health and well-being of the caregiver and care-receiver. However, because \"caregiver\" is not a reimbursable category in health care, caregiver interventions need to be delivered in a cost-efficient way. Technology-delivered and self-administered intervention models are increasingly being recommended as a pragmatic way to support aging families in our communities. This paper outlines the redevelopment of two behavioral interventions to an exclusively online delivery. This case-study analysis presents a model for community-engaged intervention research practices, which have the potential to create interventions that are more sustainable and more likely to be implemented than those designed and tested with more traditional research methodology.</p>","PeriodicalId":46123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10852352.2021.1930817","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9720741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
