Digital Education Interventions

The goal of this feasibility trial is to test the acceptability and feasibility of a new digital education pro-gram, the Caregiver Education Resource for Dementia (CARE-Dem). This is a behavioral (non-medical) intervention, designed to support informal caregivers of people with dementia. The primary purpose is to explore whether this program can help improve wellbeing and reduce burden among informal caregivers. The study focuses on adult caregivers, such as spouses, partners, relatives, or close friends of people recently diagnosed with dementia or living with mild dementia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to recruit and retain caregivers to participate in this type of digital intervention? * Do participants find the program relevant, useful, and acceptable? Are the study procedures and outcome measures (such as questionnaires) suitable and manage-able for the participants? * Does the intervention show preliminary signs of reducing caregiver burden and improving care-givers' wellbeing, knowledge, quality of relationship with the person with dementia, ability to ac-cept the situation, and feelings of being capable of managing their caregiving role? Researchers will compare caregivers who receive the CARE-Dem program with a control group who are offered the usual municipal information sessions. This allows us to see whether the digital pro-gram is feasible and whether it shows signs of effect compared with standard practice. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to: • Use the CARE-Dem digital platform over a three-month period. The platform includes three modules: Module 1: Understanding dementia and medical treatment options Module 2: Everyday life and communication with a person with dementia Module 3: Legal and practical matters, and information on support available in the community * Engage with a mix of learning materials such as short videos, fact sheets, interactive activities, guides, and links to further resources * Complete questionnaires at baseline and after 3 months to measure caregiver burden, wellbeing, and self-efficacy * Take part in qualitative interviews about their experiences with the program, including usability, satisfaction, acquired knowledge, benefits, and suggestions for improvement. Participants in the control group will receive treatment as usual. They will be offered to take part in existing information sessions provided by the municipalities, but attendance is optional. Researchers will record whether or not they attend, in order to compare results across subgroups. This feasibility trial will help determine whether it is possible to run a larger evaluation of the CARE-Dem program in the future. If successful, the program could provide flexible and accessible support to the many caregivers of people with dementia, reaching those who cannot attend traditional in-person sessions.

The goal of this two-armed, parallel-design, pre-/post-intervention assessment clinical trial is to learn if a digital and interactive website helps to improve advance care planning (ACP) engagement among caregivers of patients with serious illness. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the website increase ACP engagement of caregivers of patients with serious illness? Researchers will compare the digital and interactive website to the usual care (a digital booklet) to see if the digital intervention works to improve ACP engagement among caregivers. Participants who are caregivers will: * Be introduced to a digital website and asked to explore the site over the course of the study. * Complete four self-administered questionnaires (baseline, one-week, six-week, and six-month). Participants who are patients will not have any intervention assigned and will only have their observational data collected through four interviewer-administered questionnaires (baseline, one-week, six-week, and six-month)

The goal of this study is to learn whether a digital tool can help improve HIV knowledge, self-awareness, and testing among adolescents in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The tool includes online HIV education, a self-assessment for HIV risk, and access to trained peer educators for support. The study will also explore how comfortable and willing adolescents are to use this kind of digital health service. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Can this digital tool help adolescents better understand HIV and their personal risk? * Will more adolescents be willing to get tested for HIV after using the tool? * What factors affect whether adolescents accept and use digital HIV services? Researchers will compare two groups of high school students: * One group will use the digital tool for 6 weeks * The other group will receive standard HIV education (not through the tool) Participants will: * Answer surveys before and after the 6-week period * Learn about HIV through videos and interactive content * Use the tool to assess their personal HIV risk * Receive support from trained peer educators (online) The researchers hope this study will lead to new ways of using technology to improve HIV prevention and testing for young people.
