Caregiver interventions to improve caregiving mastery for patients with LBD are greatly needed. The main activity of this pilot trial (Aim 1) will allow investigators to design an educational program for LBD caregivers. A second activity (Aim 2), separately supported by Emory\u2019s Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) Research Center of Excellence (RCOE) will allow us to determine effect sizes to power a future clinical trial. Aim 1: Using focus group identification of attitudes and beliefs concerning educational content and approaches to improving caregiving mastery and the barriers and facilitators to delivering an educational intervention, design a prototype LBD educational program delivered remotely. Aim 2: Test the feasibility and acceptability of the educational intervention designed in Aim 1 and use effect size results to establish power estimates for a future trial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-1 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small color_alternate\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-1 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image style_shadow-1 align_center meta_modern\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emorycaregiving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lindsay-prizer.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Lindsay Prizer, PhD, MSW, LCSW\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emorycaregiving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lindsay-prizer.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.emorycaregiving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lindsay-prizer-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.emorycaregiving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lindsay-prizer-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><div class=\"w-image-meta\"><div class=\"w-image-title\">Lindsay Prizer, PhD, MSW, LCSW<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-7 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>2.
