Examining data from a pilot study of the online Life-planning in Early Alzheimer\u2019s and other Dementias (LEAD) intervention to better understand how dyads achieve perceived ACP concordance, we hypothesized that: (1) engaging in ACP was associated with perceived ACP concordance, (2) perceived ACP concordance was associated with interpersonal connectedness, and (3) engaging in ACP was associated with interpersonal connectedness.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Dyads completed the LEAD intervention and answered open-ended survey questions.

Care recipients averaged 65.1\u2009years of age (SD =14.8); care partners averaged 54.9\u2009years (SD\u2009=\u200914.6) and were primarily spouses (n\u2009=\u200932, 66.7%) or children (n\u2009=\u200912, 25.0%). Engaging in ACP was associated with higher interpersonal connectedness and with perceived ACP concordance.
