Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Multidomain Approach to Preventing Dementia in African Americans: Cognitive Prescriptions (NCT NCT03864536)

NCT ID: NCT03864536

Last Updated: 2024-07-29

Results Overview

The full measure is a 30-item survey asking about frequency of activities across 4 domains (cognitive, physical, social, and passive), in which higher scores reflect greater engagement in each type of activity (participants rate on Likert scale how often they perform each activity, 0=never/occasionally to 7=daily). The results below reflect a sum of cognitive, physical, and social activities (19 total activities). The total possible sum range is 0 to 133.

Measure
No-contact Control
No-contact control, has no contact for 3 months
Psychoeducation Control
Receives general psychoeducation on dementia prevalence, prognosis, and risk factors
Psychoeducation + CogRx
Receives same general psychoeducation on dementia and will also receive personalized information on their risk factor profile and develop a tailored 3-month intervention plan, which will consist of simple evidence-based strategies to implement at home. Cognitive Prescriptions: Personalized information on their risk factor profile across five CogRx domains (physical activity, cognitive activity, diet, sleep, social activity) and develop a tailored 3-month intervention plan, which will consist of simple evidence-based strategies to implement at home.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: change from baseline to 3 months

Scores on the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS-27) which assesses knowledge about risk factors and prognosis of dementia. Scores include percentage correct for the 27 items, with scores ranging from 0-100%. There are 27 items and each item is scored as correct or incorrect. Therefore the scores include a percentage of total items correct, ranging from 0-100 with higher meaning better knowledge.
