Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether personalized mental health support delivered through text messages can help family caregivers of stroke patients feel less stressed, anxious, and depressed. If you're selected for the treatment group, you'll receive customized text messages with coping skills and strategies designed to help you manage the emotional toll of caring for a loved one who has had a stroke.
Family caregivers of stroke patients experience very high rates of depression and anxiety—sometimes over 40%—which can harm their own health and their ability to care for their loved one. This study exists to find out whether early psychological support delivered through text messages can prevent or reduce these mental health problems.
If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive personalized mental health text messages tailored to your preferences, or general mental health information texts. The personalized messages will teach you coping skills and help you think through challenges differently. You'll receive messages at times that work best for you, and the study will ask you questions to understand how you're feeling emotionally and how the support is helping.
