Caregiving Research

Collecting, using and building on existing caregiving research is a key goal of the Alliance. As a group, we hope to share "best practices" about caregiving that are supported by quality research. In this section, caregiving professionals will find the latest reports and articles on caregiving as well as descriptions of the following research projects:

• The League of Experienced Family Caregivers, a registry of family caregivers sharing knowledge and insight on their caregiving experiences. UW-Milwaukee, in partnership with UW-Extension, will use this collective wisdom to assess caregiving needs and create educational resources for caregivers and care managers. Get involved in research tells how you can take part in this project.
• Learning from You: PTC Spouse/Partner Caregivers Project – UW-Milwaukee is conducting a pilot study focusing on how the Powerful Tools for Caregivers curriculum benefits spouse/partner caregivers. Please see the attached document for more information on the Learning from You study and how Powerful Tools for Caregivers Class Leaders can help identify interested participants!
