IN-HOME Study for Male Caregivers
This study, called IN-HOME, is looking at how an online training program can help male caregivers. The program, "Intervention to Help Orient Men to Excel (IN-HOME)," trains community health workers (CHWs) who then support male caregivers through virtual sessions (phone, text, video call) over three weeks. We want to see if this support improves your knowledge, skills, and confidence in caregiving, as well as your general health. You can join if you are a male caregiver, at least 18 years old, live in the US, and have a smartphone. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status. We will measure success by looking at changes in your caregiving knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy (belief in your ability to succeed).
- Study design
- This is a randomized study with two groups, involving 360 participants. One group will receive support from IN-HOME trained CHWs, and the other will receive alternative training (SUPPORT).
- What's involved
- You will complete three surveys and receive support from a CHW through three virtual sessions (phone, text, or video call) over three weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your knowledge will be measured at baseline, three weeks after the first survey, and three weeks after the second survey.

What this trial measures
- Declarative knowledge survey 1 scoreSurvey 1 (baseline)
Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice questions about caregiving declarative knowledge. Investigators will sum to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 7. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 7 means a participant got all 7 questions correct. Then, the investigators will create the composite knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (7) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.
- Declarative knowledge survey 2 scoreThree weeks after survey 1
Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice questions about caregiving declarative knowledge. Investigators will sum to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 7. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 7 means a participant got all 7 questions correct. Then, the investigators will create the composite knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (7) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.
- Declarative knowledge survey 3 scoreThree weeks after survey 2
Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice questions about caregiving declarative knowledge. Investigators will sum the scores to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 7.

- Procedural knowledge survey 1 scoreSurvey 1 (baseline)
Investigators will ask participants multiple-choice questions about caregiving procedural knowledge. Investigators will sum the scores to create a composite knowledge score ranging from 0 to 4. A score of 0 means a participant got zero questions correct, while a score of 4 means a participant got all 4 questions correct. Then, the investigators will create the composite knowledge average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (4) and multiplying by 100. The higher the score, the more questions a participant answered correctly.

- Skills survey 1 scoreSurvey 1 (baseline)
Investigators will ask all participants Likert-type scale questions about skills to conduct caregiving tasks. Each answer choice rating will range from 1 to 10, with higher ratings representing more caregiver experience.

Then, investigators will create the skills average by dividing the participant's composite score by the total number of questions (9), and the composite score will range from 1 to 10. The higher the score, the more experience a participant indicates.
