Acceptability of a Web-Based Financial Education Intervention for Latino Caregivers: Mixed Methods Evaluation Background: Latino caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWD) face distinct financial challenges, spending nearly half of their annual household income on caregiving expenses, almost twice as much as non-Latino caregivers. Cultural norms, limited access to financial resources, and underrepresentation in intervention research compound this economic burden. There remains a critical gap in evidence-based, culturally tailored programs designed to reduce financial stress among Latino caregivers. Objective: This study examines the acceptability and perceived value of the CONFIDENCE (Confidently Navigating Financial Decisions and Enhancing Financial Wellbeing in Dementia Caregiving) program, a culturally-tailored, web-based psychoeducational intervention designed to reduce financial stress and improve financial wellbeing among Latino caregivers of PLWD. Methods: We applied a multi-method approach to evaluate the acceptability of the CONFIDENCE pilot. Following completion of the intervention, fourteen caregivers participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews, and 27 (39% of program participants) completed a 14-item satisfaction survey. The study was guided by a theoretical framework of acceptability composed of seven domains: affective attitude, burden, ethicality, intervention coherence, opportunity costs, perceived effectiveness, and self-efficacy. Interview transcripts were analyzed independently by two coders using thematic analysis, and survey responses were summarized using descriptive statistics. Results: Participants overall reported satisfaction with the CONFIDENCE program. Qualitative analysis of interview transcripts revealed four themes: (1) the perceived need for financial intervention; (2) perceived intervention effectiveness, particularly in improving financial knowledge, communication skills, and mental health; (3) positive emotional responses to participation, with high praise for the program’s group setting and cultural relevance; and (4) recommendations for intervention improvement, including shorter sessions and enhanced technology support. Survey results confirmed high acceptability, with 96% of respondents reporting that they enjoyed the program. All participants (100%) said they would recommend CONFIDENCE to other Latino caregivers. Participants reported improved awareness of available resources, increased confidence in financial decision-making, and reduced financial stress. Caregivers appreciated the group setting, which allowed for mutual interaction and learning; group discussions fostered emotional connection and peer learning. Participants also praised the content’s trustworthiness and relevance. Although most agreed that participation required minimal effort, barriers such as time constraints and technology challenges were noted. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the CONFIDENCE program is acceptable among Latino caregivers of PLWD. Culturally tailored content, group learning, and an emphasis on practical financial strategies were central to the program’s success. Findings will inform program refinements, including limiting burden by addressing noted barriers while maintaining strengths such as group learning opportunities to optimize engagement. Considering the unique economic burdens Latino caregivers face, it is vital to develop and support interventions tailored to their unique needs. This study adds to the limited but growing literature on financial well-being interventions for Latino caregivers and highlights the value of culturally informed, community-driven approaches to supporting caregiver financial resilience.

Little by little, I’m learning to let go—
of guilt, of control, of expectations.
There’s peace in releasing what was never mine to hold.
