Summary
This research is being done to develop a unique matching process for caregivers of persons living with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, or other dementia syndromes. Dementia caregivers often assume greater caregiving burden than do non-dementia caregivers, and the caregiving duration tends to be longer. Many caregivers do not have the adequate support they need. Peer-to-peer support has been shown to improve quality of life, more engagement with services, improve caregiver health, and reduce hospitalizations in the person they are caring for. This study will help determine whether caregivers of persons with dementia would find a technology-based caregiver matching program valuable for the purpose of emotional support.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Algorithm | For purpose of finding peer-to-peer support, current and/or former caregivers of persons with dementia will be matched using an algorithm. They can then choose make a connection and maintain a connection for the duration of the study. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Random Match | For purpose of finding peer-to-peer support, current and/or former caregivers of persons with dementia will be randomly matched. They can then choose make a connection and maintain a connection for the duration of the study. |
