Preliminary descriptive data on characteristics and patterns of early engagement in the intervention for 132 FCGs are presented. Engagement assessed at an initial in-person meeting and the following half dozen weeks includes problems raised, strategies used, and initiation, frequency, and style of contact. A sizable proportion of FCGs were male, African American, and nonspouse. The FCGs had minor scores on a standard survey measure out of burden yet volunteered caregiving demands as their primary trouble. Other problems raised initially by more than than 40% of the sample included psychological, practical, and communication with healthcare providers. Few reported concrete and psychosocial difficulties. Engagement preferences expressed at the initial meeting largely mapped with actual engagement during the vi weeks of intervention. Near FCGs were actively engaged during follow-upwards. Some (14%) did not opt for coping and communication support during this early on treatment phase. This intervention is expected to affect quality of care and quality-of-life outcomes for FCGs over time from patient diagnosis to end of life.
