CareYaya: An Intergenerational Program Merging Caregiving and Technology
Angie Perone, Professor
Social Welfare
Applications for Fall 2024 are closed for this project.
This project will provide opportunities for students with a strong foundation in quantitative research to help design a research project that collects survey data from CareYaya’s program participants. Students will also assist with survey data analysis and potentially dissemination. CareYaya is a technology-enabled caregiving platform that connects families who need in-home caregivers with pre-health undergraduate students interested in providing care. It aims to build health equity in the Bay Area and beyond, while creating affordable caregiving options to address the nation’s caregiving crisis. This project will examine how affordable caregiving affects family caregiver strain over time as well as other aspects of the program.
