Vanderbilt University Medical Center is conducting research on how to leverage collective knowledge and interactions in online platforms, such as Reddit, ALZConnected, and Facebook to assist informal caregivers for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias (ADRD). Informal ADRD caregivers refer to those caregivers who are family members, friends, neighbors of the care recipient, or other unpaid caregivers. As part of this research, this ongoing survey will ask about your background, caregiving experience, as well as your belief in the value of support from other ADRD caregivers, or any experience of using any online platforms (such as Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, ALZConnected) for seeking informational or emotional support for caregiving a person living with ADRD.

Your attitude to, or belief in the support from other caregivers will be of great value to our research. There will be about 61 questions, but most of them are single choice, which will take you approximately 20-25 minutes. Participants will be entered into a raffle to receive one of 48 amazon gift cards (2 $100, 6 $50, and 40 $25 cards). Please click the following link to start the survey. The deadline to complete is June 1, 2023. Thanks very much for your support and contribution to this research.
