NIA_Improving Function and Well-being by Improving Patient Memory: Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Treatment
Sponsor: University of California, Berkeley
Summary
Mental illness is often chronic, severe, and difficult to treat. Though there has been significant progress towards establishing effective and efficient interventions for psychological health problems, many individuals do not gain lasting benefits from these treatments. The Memory Support Intervention (MSI) was developed utilizing existing findings from the cognitive science literature to improve treatment outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to conduct an open trial that includes individuals 50 years and older to assess if a novel version of the Memory Support Intervention improves sleep and circadian functioning, reduces functional impairment, and improves patient memory for treatment.

Interventions
Memory Support Intervention
The Memory Support Intervention is designed to improve patient memory for treatment and involves a series of specific procedures that support the encoding and retrieval stages of episodic memory. The memory support strategies are proactively, strategically and intensively integrated into treatment-as-usual to support encoding. Memory support is delivered alongside each 'treatment point', defined as a main idea, principle, or experience that the treatment provider wants the patient to remember or implement as part of the treatment.
Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction
TranS-C aims to provide one protocol to treat a range of sleep and circadian problems because sleep and circadian problems are often not so neatly categorized and because the existing research provides few guidelines to treat more complex patients.
