Summary

The investigators will compare two brain health programs in older adults with subjective cognitive decline and lifestyle risk factors for dementia. The primary aim of the study is to determine the credibility, expectancy, feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity, and satisfaction of the programs.

Conditions

  • Memory Loss (Excluding Dementia)
  • Healthy Lifestyle
  • Risk Reduction Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

My Healthy Brain 1

My Healthy Brain 1 is an 8-week group program delivered via 90-minute Zoom meetings led by a clinical psychologist. It provides education on the link between dementia and lifestyle factors, including poor exercise, sleep, diet/nutrition, mental and social stimulation, alcohol, and smoking. My Healthy Brain 1 participants learn evidence-based mindfulness and behavior change skills to address common barriers to healthy habits, such as stress and setting achievable goals. My Healthy Brain 1 participants wear an activity watch to monitor lifestyle changes during the program.

BEHAVIORAL

My Healthy Brain 2

My Healthy Brain 2 condition controls for the effect of time spent and support/feedback from the group and interventionist. Participants in My Healthy Brain 2 will receive education on lifestyle, brain health, and cognitive decline symptoms in addition to usual care as determined by their medical team. Each weekly session will focus on a different topic: 1) lifestyle and brain health, 2) physical activity, 3) sleep, 4) nutrition, 5) medical adherence, 6) cognitive health, 7) social support, and 8) a program overview. My Healthy Brain 2 is conducted in the same format as My Healthy Brain 1 (8 weekly Zoom sessions, 90 minutes each), but does not include behavior change strategies. My Healthy Brain 2 participants wear an activity watch to monitor lifestyle changes during the program.
