# Advancing Alzheimer's family caregiving interventions and research capacity in Vietnam

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
Developing family dementia caregiver interventions that are both effective and scalable is
important in the US and globally. We are requesting an administrative supplement (PA-20-272)
to our current NIA parent grant “Advancing Alzheimer’s Family Caregiving Interventions and
Research Capacity in Vietnam” (RO1AG064688; MPIs: Hinton and Nguyen). The administrative
supplement is in direct response to the challenges of delivering the in-person intervention during
the COVID-19 pandemic as well as difficulties engaging family caregivers in more remote rural
areas. The supplement will augment the parent study by developing and testing a technology-
enhanced (telephone, videoconferencing, text messaging) version of our intervention for Distant
delivery using participants, recruitment methods, and procedures that mirror the parent clinical
trial. Building on a robust and effective collaborative relationship between investigators in HIC
(US and Australia) and the Vietnam National Geriatric Hospital (NGH), the parent R01’s overall
goal is to test the efficacy of Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer’s Caregiver Health in Vietnam
(REACH VN), a culturally adapted version of the REACH VA intervention. We request an
administrative supplement to adapt REACH VN for technology-enhanced remote delivery (i.e.,
via telephone, videoconferencing, text messaging) to expand the accessibility and reach of our
intervention. Because the research in Vietnam may have relevance to Vietnamese and other
Asian American populations in the US, we also propose convening members of the research
team and experts in ADRD caregiving research from the US to facilitate knowledge transfer.
The activities supported by this supplement represent a unique opportunity to augment and
complement the aims of the parent study and advance the science of family caregiver
interventions to reach rural and other underserved and vulnerable populations in the US and low
and middle-income countries.
