  • Pages: 606-617
  • First Published: 25 January 2021
Key points

  • An online caregiver training and support program (iSupport) was tested for feasibility and preliminary effectiveness in India

  • Feasibility was measured in terms of recruitment rate and retention rate, both of which were low in the study

  • No significant differences were found between the study and comparison group on the primary outcomes

  • A significant improvement was seen in caregivers' person-centered attitude in the iSupport group

  • The findings indicate a need for further adaptations of the Indian version of the iSupport program to improve its acceptability and accessibility
