The PERSEVERE Study
Last updated on March 19, 2025.
May 22 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm MDT
Sarah Mitchell Chen, LCSW, APHSW-C, from Rush University will introduce the PERSEVERE study.
PERSEVERE is a national study funded by the National Institutes of Health, led by Dr. Jori Fleisher at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, which is testing an educational program for family caregivers of people with Parkinson’s Disease with cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, or Lewy Body Dementia. PERSEVERE will test whether a disease-specific, caregiver-centered educational intervention improves caregiver knowledge, confidence, strain, and health outcomes – and whether it helps people living with Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, or Lewy Body Dementia, too.
PERSEVERE focuses on caregivers of those with Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, or Lewy Body Dementia, including individuals experiencing early cognitive changes or mild hallucinations. We’re particularly seeking to involve underrepresented caregivers, such as those from rural areas, men, caregivers of color, LGBTQ+, and gender diverse caregivers.
