The study team will use a randomized wait-list control group design with blinded outcomes assessment to examine the effectiveness of LST-LC on caregiver confidence and self-efficacy in performing complex care tasks. This design has the advantage of making enrollment more feasible as participants may find the intervention highly desirable and will eventually receive it. Yet, the design provides a randomized comparison with a non-intervention control group. Participants will be individually randomized 1:1 to an immediate intervention group (IG) and a wait-list (delayed) control group (WLC).
