LEAF (Life Enhancing Activities for Family Caregivers) study

Family caregivers often suffer with higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and impaired physical

health. Researchers at UCSF and Northwestern University are testing a program for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's Disease designed to increase levels of positive emotion, which in turn can help lower stress and support ways of coping with the stresses of caregiving. Participants will receive a positive emotion building program and a study-supplied tablet computer. Because the program is conducted online, caregivers can participate from anywhere in the USA. Participants of the LEAF Study (Life Enhancing Activities for Family Caregivers) will take part in an hour-long learning session once a week for six weeks, plus home practice activities and online surveys. LEAF is funded by a grant from the National Institute on Aging (division of the National Institutes of Health).
