PRogram to Improve Stress-levels and Enhance Memory
Sponsor: Emory University
Summary
This is a pilot study with the objective to examine if an in-person and a remote multi-component intervention program can improve chronic stress, vascular measures, and executive function among African American and White patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment. Researchers plan to enroll 45 participants with over-recruitment of African American patients. Participants will be recruited to participate in PRogram to Improve Stress-levels and Enhance Memory (PRISEM) (i.e., remote lifestyle intervention program). The participants will be asked to participate in group-based and/or individual activities that focus on improving health education, nutrition, physical activity, cognitive health, stress levels, and overall well-being. The duration of the study for all participants will be 12 months with 3 study visits. At each study visit, the following measures will be assessed: psychosocial, behavioral, vascular/physical, and executive function.
