Pilot Study of a Brain Health Program in Senior Centers

This study is testing an 8-week program called "My Healthy Brain" for older adults who are concerned about their memory. The program, led by a clinical psychologist or trainee, teaches you about how lifestyle choices like exercise, sleep, and diet can affect your brain health and help prevent dementia. You might be able to join if you are 50 or older, have noticed changes in your memory, and want to improve at least one lifestyle factor (like being more active or getting better sleep). The main goal of this study is to see if the program is practical, helpful, and satisfying for participants. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 60 people.

What this trial measures

  • Rates of Treatment Completion8 Weeks

    We will assess the acceptability of treatment by calculating the proportion of participants who attend ≥ 6/8 treatment sessions (≥ 70% good, ≥ 80% excellent).

  • Client Satisfaction Questionnaire8 Weeks

    Assesses patient satisfaction with the program. Higher total scores (min = 3, max = 12) indicate greater satisfaction (≥ 70% good, ≥ 80% excellent)
