| TAILORING | Intervention was comprehensively designed, not tailored to cover individual or unmeet needs. However, understAID also included the option of filling in an interactive customisation questionnaire with questions about the level of dementia of the person cared by the informal caregiver and about the preferences, energy, and time availability for learning of the caregiver. By answering these questions at the entry of the application, the information level showed to the informal caregivers is personalized and adjusted to their personal situation. | No applicable. | |
