The goal of this study is to design a Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (NDR) training intervention to improve communication and address resolution of conflicts that family caregivers of patients with cognitive impairment and/or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) frequently experience. Specifically this study will: Aim 1: Employ a caregiver (user)-centered design approach to modify and tailor a negotiations and dispute resolution (NDR) training intervention to support communication skills of family caregivers of adults with AD. Aim 2: Utilizing Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), conduct a randomized controlled trial of the NDR intervention that targets better communication between caregivers and health teams to determine the feasibility of delivering the intervention, and derive estimates of the effect of 3 intervention components on changes in patient-centered outcomes at post-intervention and follow-up. Exploratory Aim 3: Explore if intervention components (lectures/exercises) interact to change communication between caregivers and health care teams at post-intervention and follow-up.
