Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This intervention is designed to promote enhanced use of compensation strategies including calendar and task list use, and organization systems, as well as increased engagement with brain health activities including physical exercise, cognitive activities, and stress reduction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a 10-week multi-dimensional intervention for older adults with subjective cognitive concerns (SCC). The goal of this intervention is to enhance compensation skills related to everyday executive and everyday memory functions through training in the systematic use of a calendar system, goal setting and task list system, and organizational strategies within the context of the individual's daily life. This multidimensional intervention program also targets engagement in healthy lifestyle activities (physical exercise, intellectual stimulation, positive emotional functioning) to further promote brain health and functional resilience. Importantly, both treatment components work synergistically as the use of compensation strategies assists in building healthy activities into daily routines (e.g., scheduling exercise into one's calendar and putting it on a task list).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

Participants will complete an initial assessment within 2 weeks prior to starting the course or during the first class. The course will include 10 sessions conducted on a weekly basis. Following completion of the course, participants will again complete another assessment during the last class or within 2 weeks of course completion. Participants may be invited to complete assessments at 3- and 6-months following course completion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Subjects will attend a series of 2 hour classes, once a week for 10 weeks. Topics discussed in group sessions will cover compensation strategies (e.g., calendar, goal setting and task lists, functional zones) and brain health behaviors (e.g., exercise, cognitive activity, stress reduction and mindfulness).

Subjects may be asked to wear an actigraphy monitor (that looks like a wrist watch) and/or heart rate sensor that is designed to collect information regarding physical activity.
