“…Future directions should include: 1) web-based caregiver content and assistance that enables caregivers to link with and access existing organizations that have caregiver-related content; 2) RCTs that test more than one technologically-based treatment group and extend time to follow-up [50]; 3) more intentional screening of caregivers for technological savvy; 4) incorporating a caregiver technological 'orientation' before beginning the study; 5) providing direct access between family caregivers and having greater involvement of a coach or clinical staff member to individualize caregiving information [50]; 6) consider having on-site technological staff; and 7) consider what caregivers are willing to pay for technological interventions such as the CSBI [29]. Overall, these findings provide support for the intervention content and approach, and are supportive of further refining this translated Caregiver Skill Building Intervention.…”

“…Internet and social media have rapidly developed and facilitated caregiver access to new materials, as well as 'intelligent' systems that may monitor kitchen and personal care [29]. Organizations frequented by caregivers have developed and made some of these materials available on their websites (i.e., Alzheimer's Association, National Alliance for Caregiving, Administration on Aging, Family Caregiving Alliance and others) [30].…”

“…Persons most willing to use these technologies included younger caregivers, with medium-to high income, those caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease, with decreased hours of care/week, with positive attitudes towards technology and greater experience using technology [29]. Willingness to pay for these technologies was also examined with 20% of caregivers not willing to pay anything for kitchen and self-care technologies.…”

“…Willingness to pay for these technologies was also examined with 20% of caregivers not willing to pay anything for kitchen and self-care technologies. For those willing to pay something, the mean amount was approximately $50/month for monitoring technologies; and $70/month for technologies that monitored and provided some assistance with personal care tasks [29].…”

Family caregiving is a growing public health concern and caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease or other related dementias (ADRD) need appropriate, timely, and ongoing education and support to successfully meet their caregiving responsibilities. Well-designed interventions can significantly reduce risk concerning caregiver mental and physical health, and improve care recipient outcomes. Few interventions are translated into everyday practice; and most rely on in-person, professionally-led delivery methods, making them inaccessible to many family caregivers.The product developed and tested in this pilot study included six evidence-based Caregiver Skill Building Intervention (CSBI) modules, available via a web-based online format for ADRD caregivers. On-demand interactive training modules made up an integrated web-based product that taught family caregiver skills concerning how to care for their impaired family member. Product strengths include: a) an evidence-based intervention, developed from a prior group-based randomized clinical trial (RCT); b) a focus on caregiver management skill, rather than merely teaching facts; c) an interactive approach, enabling caregivers to apply information to realistic scenarios and receive immediate feedback to their responses; d) content which addresses key caregiving topics; and e) a convenient approach, available 24 hours/day/7 days/week from any location with internet access.The project enrolled 100 family caregivers and established feasibility of translating an RCT group intervention to an individualized web-based format. Caregivers positively evaluated this eLearning process (n=53); significantly increased caregiving skill at 6-and 12-weeks, (p=0.01 and 0.05, respectively); and improved caregiver depressive symptoms (p=0.01) and positive affect (p=0.05) at six weeks.

Objetivo: conocer la percepción, opinión y actitud de los productores de amaranto del municipio de Tochimilco, México, hacia la agregación de valor al grano, así como identificar las variables explicativas de la disponibilidad de los productores a agregar valor a la producción primaria de amaranto. Metodología: los datos se obtuvieron mediante encuesta estructurada a una muestra estadistica de 70 productores de amaranto, con confiabilidad del 95 % y precisión del 10 porciento. Los datos se analizaron con estadistica descriptiva y el uso de un modelo econométrico de regresión probit ordinal. Resultados: se encontro que 77 % de los hogares no consumen el amaranto y 97 % no realizan ningun tipo de agregación de valor a su producción. Las principales causas son falta de capital, capacitación, y desconocimiento del mercado. Los productores estan dispuestos a agregar valor a su producción si tuviesen seguro el Mercado (70%) y si recibieran apoyos del gobierno para maquinaria y equipo (27%). Las variables explicativas y significativas (p ≤ 0.05) de la DAV al amaranto, y con mayores efectos marginales, son la escolaridad, en el intervalo de bachillerato terminado o mayor, la edad, en el intervalo de 20-35 años, conocimiento sobre procesos de agregación de valor, y conocimiento de los gustos y preferencias de los consumidores. Limitaciones: la principal fue la disponibilidad de recursos para entrevistar a una muestra mas grande para mejorar la precisión de los estimadores. Conclusión: la agregación de valor a la producción de amaranto podría darse, si se generan los incentivos correctos; capacitación y financiamiento. Existe una actitud positiva hacia la agregación de valor.

Background and aims This mixed‐methods study examined participants' acceptance and perception of using digital health for managing nutrition and participants' digital competence. The results will be formative for making digital nutrition education more effective and acceptable for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) and their informal caregivers. Methods Qualitative data were collected through in‐person semi‐structured, dyadic interviews, and questionnaires from 20 dyads (20 PwPD and their caregivers) in the Northeastern United States and analyzed throughout the 2018 to 2019 academic year. Interview transcripts were deductively coded using the framework analysis method. Phrases related to acceptance of digital health were sub‐coded into accept, neutral, or reject and those related to perceptions of digital health were sub‐coded into perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and awareness of digital health. Quantitative data were analyzed using independent samples t tests and Fisher's exact tests. Qualitative codes were transformed into variables and compared to digital competence scores to integrate the data. An average acceptance rate for digital health was calculated through examining the mean percent of phrases coded as accept from interview transcripts. Results Twenty‐five of 40 (62.5%) participants used the internet for at least 5 health‐related purposes and the average acceptance rate was 54.4%. Dyads rejected digital health devices if they did not see the added benefit. The majority of participants reported digital health to be useful, but hard to use, and about half felt they needed education about existing digital health platforms. There was no difference in digital competence scores between PwPD and their caregivers (28.6 ± 12.6). Conclusion Findings suggest that dyads accept and use technology but not to its full potential as technology can be perceived as hard to use. This finding, combined with digital competence scores, revealed that education is warranted prior to providing a digital nutrition intervention.
