This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a program called REMINDER, which combines memory training, psychoeducation (learning about brain health), reminiscence activities, and personalized goal-setting to help prevent dementia in older adults at risk. The program runs for 12 weeks with 20 sessions, and you can choose to participate either online via video or in person. Researchers want to see if this program can help keep your mind sharp and reduce the chances of developing cognitive problems as you age.
Dementia affects millions of people worldwide, and there's growing evidence that certain lifestyle and cognitive interventions may help prevent or delay it in people who haven't yet developed memory problems. This trial exists to rigorously test whether this particular program actually works and to create a tool that could be widely available to help older adults stay mentally healthy.

You would attend 20 sessions over 12 weeks, meeting twice per week for about 45 to 60 minutes each time. Some sessions are group-based (to build social connection and learn together) and some are one-on-one with a therapist. The sessions cover memory strategies, education about brain health, reminiscence work, and help you set and achieve meaningful personal goals. You can choose to do this either online through video conferencing or in person at the study site. Researchers will also check your thinking abilities, take brain imaging scans, and do blood tests at the start and at several follow-up points to see if the program is working.
