Behavioral Interventions to Prevent or Delay Dementia
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Memory Disorders, Mild Dementia, Impaired Cognition, Mild Cognitive Disorder, Amnestic Disorder, Dementia and Amnestic Conditions, Poor Short-term Memory, Memory Impairment
In brief
This study will compare the effectiveness of different combinations of 5 types of behavioral interventions across patient-centered outcomes. It will also evaluate which outcomes (e.g. quality of life, cognition, function, mood) matter most to people at risk for dementia and their care partners. The results of this study have the potential to direct patients, families, and health care providers as to which combinations of behavioral interventions provide the greatest potential impact on which dementia prevention outcomes. Greater use of behavioral strategies that are targeted to the outcomes of most important to the patient will likely improve patient compliance and treatment adherence. This, in turn, can lessen the need for medication, health care, and long term care utilization.
