How do varying levels of participation in selecting self-management interventions (ranging from no input into the selection to selection based on need or preference) affect health risks and physical and mental health over time in family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's and other dementia disorders? Caregivers will be randomized to 1) information on diversional activities (attention control); 2) self-management intervention based on need (SM-need); or 3) self-management intervention of their preference (SM-preference).
