About the study
STELLA-R is a multicomponent, self-directed, online intervention designed to facilitate effective management of behavioral and psychological symptoms that are common in many types of dementia. The curriculum instructs care partners to use the ABC approach, a cognitive behavioral technique that teaches care partners to describe a Behavior, then consider the Activators and Consequences of a care recipient behavior. The goal of this intervention is to reduce care partner burden and decrease reactivity to upsetting behaviors.
