The IPA International Congress focuses on mental health and ageing. Oscar will give a presentation titled “Guided low-intensity behavioural activation intervention delivery preferences among people with dementia, informal caregivers, and professional stakeholders: a qualitative study (the INVOLVERA Study)”.
INVOLVERA aims to improve access to psychological support for people with dementia and depression and their informal caregivers. Psychological support is provided through a novel behavioural activation self-help intervention. The support has been co-designed with people with dementia, their informal caregivers, health and social care professionals, and non-profit organizations.
The research is funded by Swedish Research Council (Dnr: 2018-02691), and the Principal Investigator for INVOLVERA is Joanne Woodford.
