Summary

This trial will evaluate the impact of a multicomponent program (TBI Rehabilitation and Activation in Veterans; TRAIN-Vets) on improving cognitive function over an 8-month trial period in older Veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Older Veterans with a history of TBI and subjective cognitive complaints will be enrolled and randomly assign to either the TRAIN-Vets intervention (consisting of aquatic-based exercise training, cognitive training, and lifestyle coaching) or the Health Education Control, where they will receive educational materials about brain health and healthy lifestyles.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

TRAIN-Vets

The TRAIN-Vets intervention entails 6 months of thrice-weekly aquatic-based exercise training at Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS). After completion of the 6-months of exercise training, Veterans in this condition will participate in 2 months of weekly structured on-line cognitive training focused on improvement of executive function and attention based out of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Health Care System (SFVAHCS). Concurrently, Veterans in TRAIN-Vets will also participate virtually in personalized risk factor reduction sessions based at SFVAHCS focused on other risk factors and symptoms.

BEHAVIORAL

Health Education Control

The Health Education Control (HEC) receives mailed educational materials about brain health and dementia risk factor reduction over 8 months, as well as regular contact with study staff.
