The Nuestros Días ("Our Days") Study

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand how contextual, individual-level, and cultural factors influence the daily and long-term well-being of caregivers of relatives with memory problems or dementia. The study focuses on caregivers from the Hispanic and Latino community. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What daily factors increase (i.e., risk factors) or decrease (i.e., protective factors) the daily odds of depression and anxiety symptoms reported by caregivers? * How do these symptoms vary over time? * Do variations in depression and anxiety symptoms predict distal health outcomes? Participants will: * Complete an online baseline survey to understand their caregiving situation. * Fill out daily surveys online for three weeks about their caregiving experiences and well-being. * Complete two follow-up surveys, along with daily surveys, six and twelve months after the baseline survey. All the study information and surveys can be completed in English or Spanish based on the participant's preference.
