Why TCAP?
You are among more than 25 million family caregivers in the United States. Studies
show that caregiving is likely to have a physical and
emotional toll on the caregiver. Family caregivers deal with a few or many care providing challenges such as incontinence,
impaired mobility, nutrition, respiratory care, skin care and wound care
along with financial and legal concerns.
The purpose of TCAP is to assemble a large
body of knowledge from caregivers to advise health care manufacturers and service providers
as well as policy makers, about their needs, wants and opinions related
to caregiving. Unlike one individual
survey, a dedicated panel of family caregivers provides an ongoing resource of knowledge,
insight and wisdom.
Alper Associates, Inc. a leading health industry consulting firm has
formed the The Caregivers Advisory Panel. About
Paul Alper
When a caregiver enrolls, we ask certain basic information. Then, as research and
answers to questions are needed, there will be other opportunities to
participate based on each unique caregiving situation. For example, an
adult child caring for a parent who has vision and hearing problems, would not
be asked to complete a survey about caring for a child who has
cystic fibrosis.
The information shared when answering questions is totally secure, private and
confidential. We pledge to never reveal the identity of a
Panelist. Please click here to view our
full privacy and confidentiality pledge.
Surveys will use self-administered mail questionnaires (with postage paid reply envelopes
provided), telephone interviews, and on-line surveys for Panel members who wish to
participate over the
internet. Participation in all surveys and products evaluation is
voluntary and free.
