To address this, we created the CareVirtue Planner, a web-based, personalized legal and financial planning tool for ADRD caregivers. In this study, 88 ADRD caregivers completed a 3-month field test of the Planner, during which they received personalized legal and financial planning education recommendations. Participants completed semi-structured post-use interviews to share their experience of using the Planner and recommend improvements. Using an inductive team-based coding approach, we analyzed the interviews to examine participants’ experiences related to navigation, perceived usefulness of the Planner, and barriers to engagement. 70 participants were women (80%), and 64 were White (73%) . Participants shared that the Planner is easy to use due to its simple and intuitive interface. Some experienced minor technical issues which impacted navigation. The Planner was most useful for early-stage caregivers; for long-term caregivers, the Planner validated their prior legal and financial planning actions but would require additional and dynamic content to facilitate continued engagement.  \nParticipants found the centralized document vault feature and personalized resource recommendations particularly useful.  \nSuggested improvements to the Planner included additional features, e.g., the ability to share access to the document vault with others, and addressing additional topics, e.g., self-care. Future iterations of the Planner can be improved by further tailoring recommendations to participants’ stage of caregiving and expanding content and features to promote long-term use.","cbCaijMZiMErHgcq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijMZiMErHgcq","pdf",752697,"English","# Study design\n## Field test and participant interviews\n# Findings\n## Navigation and perceived usefulness\n## Engagement barriers and stage differences\n# Improvements and future work\n## Document sharing and expanded topics\n## Tailoring by caregiving stage and promoting long-term use","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the online CareVirtue Planner address for ADRD caregivers?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the difficulties of legal and financial planning for family caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), which can increase financial risk and strain.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the CareVirtue Planner evaluated in this study?\",\"answer\":\"Eighty-eight ADRD caregivers completed a 3-month field test of the Planner and then took part in semi-structured post-use interviews to describe their experiences and recommend improvements.\"},{\"question\":\"What improvements did participants suggest for the Planner?\",\"answer\":\"Participants suggested adding features such as sharing access to the document vault with others, and expanding topics including self-care.
