This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) is focused on pilot testing a culturally adapted decision aid intervention to support Chinese American dementia caregivers in making feeding-related decisions for their loved ones. The $244,019 award will fund a study to evaluate the efficacy of this decision aid in a pilot randomized controlled trial involving 60 Chinese American dementia caregivers. The goal is to help this population navigate the difficult decision between tube feeding and hand feeding for their family members with advanced dementia, given the complex interplay of cultural factors, lack of advance directives, and limited understanding of the risks and benefits of tube feeding. By the end of the award period, the project aims to transition the candidate from observational research to behavioral intervention work, with plans to submit an R01 proposal.
