A systematic review of social support interventions for caregivers of people with dementia: Are they doing what they promise?

Objective: Social support interventions for caregivers of persons with dementia (PwD) are important because informal carers often rely on their social networks for support. This systematic review synthesises findings from research on social support interventions, and examines their methodological quality and effectiveness on caregiver social support and well-being variables.

Methods: A systematic literature search utilised five databases.

Sleep and Food Choice in a Dutch Student Population.

Background: The increased risk of obesity among short sleepers is most likely explained by increased energy intake. However, food intake could not only be altered quantitavely but also qualitatively. Therefore, we performed a correlational analysis on self-reported food intake and sleep in 51 students from Maastricht and surroundings.
