A Culturally Adapted Decision Aid Intervention to Support Chinese American Dementia Caregivers in Feeding-Related Decisions
This pilot study tests a culturally adapted decision-support tool to help Chinese American family caregivers navigate the choice between tube feeding and hand feeding for a loved one with moderate or advanced dementia. It does not test a drug or medical treatment. Phase NA means this is exploratory research focused on usability and feasibility, not on proving a clinical outcome yet. Details beyond the pilot design are limited so far.
You may qualify if
- Age 21 years and older
- Self-identify as Chinese
- Providing caregiving or involvement in end-of-life care decision-making for older Chinese adults with: a) moderate or advanced dementia, b) feeding difficulties, and c) poor oral intake, eating/swallowing problems, or weight loss
You're excluded if
- Dementia patients are a) receiving tube feeding, b) enrolled in hospice care, or 3) have a documented preference against a feeding tube
