## Importance Despite the critical role of caregivers in head and neck cancer (HNC), there is limited literature on caregiver burden (CGB) and its evolution over treatment. Research is needed to address evidence gaps that exist in understanding the causal pathways between caregiving and treatment outcomes. ## Objective To evaluate the prevalence of and identify risk factors for CGB in HNC survivorship. ## Design, Setting, and Participants This longitudinal prospective cohort study took place at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Dyads of treatment-naive patients with HNC and their caregivers were recruited between October 2019 and December 2020. Eligible patient-caregiver dyads were 18 years or older and fluent in English. Patients undergoing definitive treatment identified a caregiver as the primary, nonprofessional, nonpaid person who provided the most assistance to them. Among 100 eligible dyadic participants, 2 caregivers declined participation, resulting in 96 enrolled participants. Data were analyzed from September 2021 through October 2022. ## Main Outcomes and Measures Participants were surveyed at diagnosis, 3 months postdiagnosis, and 6 months postdiagnosis. Car
