Abstract

ComputerLink is a set of telecommunications modules designed to provide information, decision making assistance, and communications support to caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease. Over 19 months, each of the 47 AD caregivers had 12 consecutive months of access. There were a total of 3875 accesses to the AD caregivers' ComputerLink. Attitudes toward ComputerLink were assessed. Subjective and objective measures of use also were captured. ComputerLink users held generally positive attitudes towards the use of the computer network and tended to under-report the number of times they accessed the system.
