Dear Caregivers,
Alzheimer’s Family Services is currently interviewing current and former family caregivers in a voluntary, confidential research study to determine the kinds of educational support that appropriately aligns with the many stressful decisions family members who are caregivers must make each day on behalf of their loved one who has Alzheimer’s disease. The study is being conducted in coordination with The Community Outreach Research & Learning Center at The University of West Florida. Participation will help Alzheimer’s Family Services provide greater services, education, and resources to caregivers and their loved ones.
If you participate, you will be asked to complete a one-time interview that will take approximately one hour to complete. There is no financial cost to you and there will be no financial reimbursement. However, caregivers who complete the interview will receive a complimentary book of stamps. You may also enjoy knowing that your participation will help us to develop programs to better educate families to improve informed decision-making and problem-solving.
You can complete your confidential interview at this link:

Or to receive a paper copy of the interview, please contact AFS @ (850) 478-7790.
We appreciate your participation in this opportunity.
Sincerely,
June Butera Pouliot, LCSW
Client Services Coordinator
