Participants will receive a variety of text messages, from automatic to keyword-drive, regarding ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Participants will also complete measures regarding depressive symptoms, coping, behavioral symptoms, and preparedness for caregiving.

CuidaTEXT
CuidaTEXT is a multidomain, bilingual 6-month text message intervention that includes delivery and content features tailored to Latino caregivers. All caregivers receive one core daily automatic message on five domains: ADRD education, social support, self-care, ADRD care management, and behavioral symptoms. Caregivers can access on-demand automatic messages to expand on the five domains via sending keywords and interact with a coach via a live chat for more personalized help.
