Subject line: Alzheimer's Family Caregivers: Psychological Experience and Support Needs Survey

Dear Members,

If you are a caregiving spouse or relative of someone with Alzheimer's disease, we are seeking your help in completing a brief survey called "Alzheimer's Family Caregivers: Psychological Experience and Support Needs."

Caring for a spouse or relative with Alzheimer's disease offers special challenges, and we are taking the opportunity to design a high quality support program that better meets the psychological needs of Alzheimer's family caregivers in Virginia. To meet this objective, we need your help by completing our brief survey of your caregiving experiences and support needs. This project is a collaborative venture of Dr. Connie Coogle in Virginia Commonwealth University's Virginia Center on Aging and Dr. Kirk Warren Brown in VCU's Department of Psychology. The findings of the survey will be used to tailor the support program to the needs and interests of family caregivers.

The survey can be found here: www.alzpossible.org/survey.html

There are no special criteria for completing the survey other than being a caregiving spouse or relative of an individual with Alzheimer's disease. The survey takes only about 10 minutes to complete, and asks easy-to-complete questions about your caregiving experiences, challenges and stresses, and interests in various support program components. All of your responses will be anonymous and you can skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. In appreciation of your time, you will have the opportunity to win one of 5 prizes of $10 Amazon gift cards and to receive a copy of the survey findings.

Your participation in this survey is very highly valued. Naturally, the more people who complete the survey, the better our program development efforts will be. If you should have any questions before, during, or after your completion of this survey, please feel free to reach us using the contact information given below.

Thank you so much for your help!

Yours,

Connie Coogle, PhD (804/828-1525)
