Health Behavior Change for Alzheimer's Disease Risk
This study is looking at ways to help middle-aged adults make lasting healthy lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of Alzheimer's disease. It compares two educational programs: "Enhanced Healthy Living Education" and "Basic Healthy Living Education." Both programs involve 24 sessions focused on healthy living. The study aims to see how these programs impact your perceived threat of Alzheimer's disease over 8 weeks. You may be able to join if you are between 45 and 69 years old, have normal thinking abilities, speak English, and have at least two risk factors for Alzheimer's, such as a higher BMI, high blood pressure, or a family history of the disease. The study plans to enroll 40 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants to compare two different healthy living education programs.
- What's involved
- You would participate in a 24-session healthy living education program. Your perceived threat of Alzheimer's disease will be measured at the start, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your perceived threat of Alzheimer's disease will be measured up to 8 weeks after the start of the study.

What this trial measures
- Perceived Threat of Alzheimer's Disease Scalebaseline
7-item Likert-type scale assessing perceived likelihood, concern, and consequences of Alzheimer's disease; higher scores indicate greater perceived threat
- Perceived Threat of Alzheimer's Disease Scale4 weeks
7-item Likert-type scale assessing perceived likelihood, concern, and consequences of Alzheimer's disease; higher scores indicate greater perceived threat
- Perceived Threat of Alzheimer's Disease Scale8 weeks
7-item Likert-type scale assessing perceived likelihood, concern, and consequences of Alzheimer's disease; higher scores indicate greater perceived threat
- Perceived Threat of Alzheimer's Disease Scale12 weeks (treatment endpoint)
7-item Likert-type scale assessing perceived likelihood, concern, and consequences of Alzheimer's disease; higher scores indicate greater perceived threat
