Brief Summary
Older adults with serious illness and their caregivers have high rates of anxiety and limited access to effective, non-pharmacological treatments. A recent National Academy of Medicine report recommended increased emphasis on disseminating and implementing evidence-based psychotherapies in order to have maximal public health impact. Through this work, I will identify a sustainable and potentially scalable dyadic intervention and delivery model to manage symptoms of anxiety in older adults with serious illness and their caregivers in primary care.
