Interventions that actively engage dementia caregivers show promise in reducing the negative outcomes of caregiving but lack optimization and systematic testing. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe an iterative process developed to refine an intervention to enhance active engagement. A three-stage review process with content experts was developed to refine activities in preparation for focus group feedback and pilot testing. We identified caregiving vignettes, reorganized engagement techniques, and optimized focus group activities for online delivery to promote caregiver access and safety. The framework developed from this process is included, along with a template to guide intervention refinement.
