Health promotion interventions for Asian American dementia caregivers: an integrative review.
Review in Ethnicity & health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveMany dementia caregivers are older adults who face chronic health challenges driven by both aging and sustained caregiving stress. This vulnerability is compounded for Asian American caregivers by systemic health barriers stemming from linguistic, socioeconomic, and immigration factors. This integrative review aimed to synthesize existing evidence on health promotion interventions targeting Asian American dementia caregivers.
designA systematic search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science from inception to 1 August 2025. The Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool form was used for quality appraisal.
resultsA total of 1,390 articles were identified and 10 articles representing eight studies were included. Four studies were two-arm randomized controlled trials (RCTs); all were pilot or preliminary trials with small to moderate sample sizes. The remaining four studies used single-group intervention designs. Health promotion interventions showed potential for improving depressive symptoms among caregivers in the short term; however, effects on caregiver stress and burden were inconclusive. Retention rates ranged from 71.4% to 100% across follow-up periods of up to 2 years. Acceptability was optimal, based on participants' reported satisfaction and perceived helpfulness.
conclusionThe evidence base for health promotion interventions among Asian American dementia caregivers is in an early stage of development. Findings regarding the effects of health promotion interventions for Asian American dementia caregivers remain inconclusive due to inconsistencies across studies. Overall, retention feasibility and acceptability appear promising. Future work should clarify and prioritize effective intervention components to achieve desired outcomes and employ theory-driven, person-centered, culturally tailored approaches. More rigorous, fully powered trials with diverse Asian American subgroups are needed to address persistent recruitment challenges and strengthen the evidence base.
