A Pilot Study for the Healthy Actions and Lifestyles to Avoid Dementia or Hispanos y el ALTo a la Demencia Program (HALT-AD)

Detailed Summary

A Pilot Study for the Healthy Actions and Lifestyles to Avoid Dementia or Hispanos y el ALTo a la Demencia program (HALT-AD). This initial four-months pilot study will focus on at least three educational courses (introduction to dementia and lifestyle risk factors, sleep and diet). It may also include a fourth educational course on social connectivity and loneliness. Completion of this initial pilot study will allow for a round of improvements informed by data from the program, on usability, as well as feedback from participants and citizen advisors. This will allow for an iterative process to build the program to its full content, with feedback to optimize the user experience and ensure the accessibility of the content. The information generated from this study will help inform the development of the second program's prototype, expected to benefit from the initial pilot to become more user-friendly, effective and accessible to the target audience. This pilot study will be a longitudinal study of an inception cohort exposed to the HALT-AD online educational program for a four-month study. It will utilize pre- and post- intervention collection of quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the program's first prototype.
