Improving Cognition of Older Adults in Community Housing (NCT05932342)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 🧠 Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The I-COACH study will focus on seniors with mental health conditions who are living in senior community housing. This initiative proposes to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week integrated program of cognitive remediation (CR) in combination with social and physical activity using an open-label design. The program will be provided over three iterative groups of six participants each, with one Personal Support Worker (PSW). The program will be co-designed at a granular level in an iterative process, drawing upon feedback provided by each participant group, PSW, and community housing staff to improve the user experience. We will build the capacity for community personal support workers (PSWs) to deliver this program independently and with fidelity to the intervention model. Our ultimate goal is to help seniors continue to live as long as possible in their homes within the community.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (8 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (3 items).
