摘要
The Alzheimer's Disease Support Center (ADSC) is a telecomputing-based project designed to provide information and support to caregivers of persons with dementia. Inherent features of telecomputing make computer-mediated information and support systems like the ADSC a viable complement to existing efforts to meet caregivers, needs. This article outlines the rationale for the ADSC and describes its context, structure, content, and operation.
