Glad to share that I’ve been awarded an Emerging Scholar Pilot Grant from the Center on Aging and Population Sciences (CAPS) at UT Austin! My project, "Understanding Dementia Caregiver Burden and Coping Using an LLM-Based Analytic Workflow and Online Forum Data" @utxcaps

[Yan Zhang @YanZhang_Soc]

Many thanks to Dr. Karen Fingerman and Dr. Robert Crosnoe for their support. 😀

my project will use ALZConnected caregiver narratives to explore how dementia caregivers experience, express, and cope with caregiving burden. Excited to advance this work at the intersection of dementia caregiving, computational methods, and population health!

We were trying to answer the question whether having more kids benefits parents’ cognitive function. Unlike most findings based on the US data or hrs sisters, we found high parity is associated with lower odds of dementia.
