Minds Navigating the Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MIND MCI): Feasibility and Acceptability of a Primary Care Telehealth Intervention

Abstract

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) affects up to 26 percent of adults age 60 and older1 and progresses to dementia at a rate of 12% per year. Multiple modifiable risk factors may change this trajectory. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability,and preliminary effectiveness of a 9 session group telehealth intervention vs waitlist control in addressing modifiable risk factors. Veterans age 60 and over (N=160)with MCI and at least one cardiovascular risk factor will be recruited from 2 VA medical centers to participate. Subjects will complete measures of cognitive function, physical status, and emotional state at baseline, following the intervention, and at 3 months after the intervention. Acceptability of the intervention will be assess using qualitative and quantitative measures. Primary Care staff will be asked to review and provide feedback on the intervention and modules to facilitate future implementation in primary care settings. Enrollment is anticipated to start in September 2023. Noresults are yet available.
