Randomized Controlled TrialHelping carers to care--the 10/66 dementia research group's randomized control trial of a caregiver intervention in Russia.
Dementia is a rapidly growing public health problem in low and middle income countries. There is an urgent need, in the absence of formal services, to develop interventions designed to improve the lives of people with dementia, and their families. This study tests the effectiveness of the 10/66 caregiver intervention among people with dementia, and their carers. ⋯ The low-level intervention seems to be as, if not more, effective than similar interventions applied in high income countries.
