Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation BA therapy vs Support and Information for reducing risk for emotional and cardiovascular diseases in Alzheimers caregivers Half of participants will receive BA and the other half will receive support and information
Detailed Description:
The burden of caring for a loved-one with Alzheimers disease is associated with adverse psychological and general health consequences for the caregiver These consequences including risk for depression cardiovascular disease and earlier mortality Because preliminary work has demonstrated that an educational programs for caregivers reduce the negative affect associated with caregiving the investigators wish to determine whether improving mood can also modify pathophysiological changes that have been linked to risk for developing cardiovascular disease
The investigators aims are to determine whether a 6-week Behavioral Activation BA intervention followed by 3 booster sessions over a period of 6 months compared to an Information-Support IS intervention will be associated with significant improvement in indicators of vascular pathology modification of psychobiological markers that have been associated with cardiovascular parameters and to determine whether improvements in indicators of vascular parameters will be mediated by treatment related change in measures of distress and markers of cardiovascular disease risk
