< em > 'It's Too nice' < /em > : Adapting iSupport Lite for Ethnically Diverse Family Carers of a Person with Dementia

CONCLUSIONS: Beyond language translation, cultural adaptation using co-design provided participants the opportunity to develop more culturally relevant care resources that meet their needs. These resources will be evaluated for clinical and cost-effectiveness in future research.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: By design, multilingual resources for carers must incorporate cultural needs to communicate support messages. If this intervention is effective, it could help to reduce dementia care disparities in ethnically diverse populations in Australia and globally.PMID:37697628 | DOI:10.1080/07317115.2023.2254296
