University of Michigan researchers are conducting a study on the Alzheimer’s caregiving experiences of spouses who are in a late-life remarriage (‘second marriage’). Researchers are seeking to recruit 125 remarried caregivers whose spouse has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Interviews with caregivers will be conducted by telephone and scheduled at their convenience. Interviews will ask survey and open-ended questions and will take approximately 2 hours to complete. Participants will be compensated for their time.
Participation is completely voluntary and all information will be kept strictly confidential. This study is funded by the Alzheimer’s Association and approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board.
For more information, please contact Dr. Carey W. Sherman, study director, at (734) 763-4993, or by email at caregiver@umich.edu.
