Detailed Description

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

The SHARP study tests the feasibility, usability, and cultural relevance of an android application-supported walking study for brain health among older Black adults. The SHARP walking application enables the seamless integration of the brain-healthy behaviors of walking, social engagement, and reminiscence. Methods: Over the course of 24 weeks in the rapidly gentrifying historically Black neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon, triads aim to complete three 1-mile walks per week. The SHARP application is preprogrammed with 72 themed, 1-mile routes, accessible via a group tablet device. At three points along each route, GPS-triggered "Memory Markers" (historical images of local Black culture) appear on the walking application, serving as prompts for conversational reminiscence as triads walk. Walking reminiscence sessions are recorded for inclusion into a digital oral history archive.
