The participant is 18 years or older.\n2. The participant has regular access to an internet connected device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or computer).\n3.

Health enSuite Caregivers can be downloaded as a mobile application for use on a smartphone or tablet, or it can be accessed through the web browser on an electronic device with an internet connection. People who do not have regular access to an internet connected device are unlikely to benefit from Health enSuite Caregivers, and therefore they will be excluded.\n\nHealth enSuite Caregivers is designed to help primary caregivers of persons with moderate dementia. Therefore, the eligibility screening questionnaire includes items to assess dementia severity. To ensure that the participants has ongoing caregiving duties, they must self-report providing at least one hour of care per week. There is no clear consensus on the number of hours of care that all primary caregivers provide. Reports from the Canadian Institute for Health Informatics estimate that on average informal caregivers of persons with dementia provide 26 hours of care per week (3). One hour per week was selected as a minimum threshold to exclude people with very limited caregiving responsibilities.\n\nHealth enSuite Caregivers is intended to help caregivers who are experiencing some degree of distress. Participants must also score above the cut-off score (\\>=11) for distress on the DQ-5 (18), a population distress screening measure.","ALL","18 Years",{"count":52,"type":53},400,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[56],"NA","Health enSuite Caregivers is an e-health program designed to meet some of the most common needs of caregivers of persons with dementia, including information about dementia and dementia care, caregivers' emotional health, formal or informal help received from others.
