Hypothesis
The assumption that evidence-based support programs for caregivers are not widely available is untested.
Conclusion
More evidence-based programs for caregivers are available and have a wider reach than previously thought.
Supporting Evidence
- 600 service organizations were identified as offering a BPC program.
- 252 of the 600 organizations were verified as delivering a BPC program.
- 25 organizations served caregivers nationally via remote program delivery.
Takeaway
There are more programs to help caregivers than we thought, but they could be better spread out.
Methodology
The study involved surveying program-developers and delivery organizations to document the reach of evidence-based programs.
Limitations
Some organizations identified were not verified as delivering programs due to various challenges.
