SHARE program for African American families facing memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a program called SHARE, which helps African American families work together when a loved one has early-stage memory loss. It focuses on improving communication and support at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You and your loved one must be a pair—one caregiver and one person with early-stage memory loss.
- The person with memory loss must live at home (not in a nursing home or other institution).
- Both or at least one of you must identify as African American.
- The person with memory loss must be at least 50 years old; you (the caregiver) must be 18 or older.
- You both must be able to speak and read English.
- The memory loss should be mild to moderate, not severe or advanced.
