Primary

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) at follow-up (i.e., six months after the first measurement) are the primary outcome of the study. NPS are measured with the NeuroPsychiatric Inventory (NPI; Cummings et al., 1994).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Health related quality of life of the person with dementia is measured with the EQ5D (Brooks, 1996). Care consumption of the person with dementia is measured in the TOPICS-MDS (Lutomski et al., 2015). Caregiver Burden is measured with a Dutch questionnaire (Ervaren Druk door Informele Zorg or EDIZ; de Boer et al., 2012). Caregiver burden is also measured with the distress scales of the NPI (Cummings et al., 1994; De Jonghe et al., 1997). The quality of life of the caregiver is measured with the CarerQol (Brouwer et al., 2006).	—
