The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $124,166 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to develop shared medical appointments (SMAs) for informal caregivers of Alzheimer's and dementia patients. The objective is to identify the most significant end-of-life concerns to create a culturally sensitive SMA curriculum that addresses knowledge gaps, improves communication, and encourages advance care planning. The 5-year project will conduct surveys, interviews, and expert consultations to inform the SMA structure and evaluate its impact on caregiver knowledge and goal-concordant end-of-life decision-making. This effort aims to provide evidence for expanding ADRD-focused SMAs to enhance understanding, communication, and palliative/hospice attitudes among caregivers.
