^aChange scores calculated by posttest minus pretest of average performance on outcome measures.

^bIndependent T-test comparing change scores between PD participants enrolled with a care partner and those enrolled without a care partner.

^cLinear regression model adjusting for marital status comparing scores between PD participants enrolled with and without a care partner.

^dRapid Estimate Adult Literacy Measurement.

^eShort Test of Functional Health Literacy Assessment.

^fTest of Scientific Literacy Skills.

^gCenter for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.

^{^}Higher Scores indicate worsening function/performance; otherwise, higher scores indicate improvement.

^*p values indicate significant differences between the group of participants that did not complete the TeleDREAMS program and the group of participants that completed the program at the .05 level.
