NCT07546708 · RECRUITING
The Black Immigrant Project
This trial is testing a culturally adapted caregiving support program called ACES (Active Caregiving: Enhancing Skills) with Black immigrant people living with dementia and their care partners. Researchers want to know whether the program improves caregivers' confidence, reduces unhelpful thinking patterns, and encourages positive daily activity. This is a Stage I trial, meaning it is an early feasibility and pilot study, not a definitive test of effectiveness.
