Training community health workers to support male caregivers

This study is testing a support program called IN-HOME that trains community health workers to help male caregivers feel more confident and capable in their caregiving role. You would either receive support from a community health worker trained in the IN-HOME program or from a community health worker trained in standard health education. The study will measure whether the IN-HOME training helps male caregivers gain knowledge, feel more confident, and access resources more easily.

Many male caregivers feel unprepared and isolated in their role, and they may struggle to know where to find help managing their loved one's health and their own wellbeing. This trial exists to see whether training community health workers specifically to support male caregivers can make a real difference in how confident and supported they feel.
