PCORI Award for UCLA-based Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program Comparative Trial
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Board of Governors has approved a grant to the University of California Los Angeles Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program for a comparative clinical effectiveness research trial.
The study will compare whether a health-system-based strategy or a community-based strategy to support caregivers and individuals with dementia is more effective at keeping people in their homes and reducing caregiver stress and depression.
The UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program, a John A. Hartford Foundation grantee, recently celebrated it's five-year anniversary. The program is designed to help patients and their families with the complex medical, behavioral and social needs of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.
