Study Details

Brief summary:

Center for BrainHealth is beginning a one-year pilot with local college campuses investigating the impact of (i) brain health assessment and training tools delivered through the online BrainHealth Platform and (ii) in-person educational brain health workshops delivered to college students and faculty/staff, with the overarching goal to better understand how to promote brain-healthier campuses (i.e., reflecting generally positive function across cognitive, social, emotional, and lifestyle domains). This initial study is intended to be a one-year pilot, with findings informing feasibility and efficacy as well as future, more extended and expanded study informing translation to other colleges/universities.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Brain Health Training and Education

Online and in-person training and education around brain-health strategies and lifestyle practices.

Interventions

Brain Health Strategy Training and Education

Initial training strategies cover Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART), and subsequent training extends the SMART principles to other life-applications such as stress management, sleep, and lifestyle. Virtual and in-person workshops will expand on topics such as stress management, sleep, resilience, and mental well-being, with an emphasis on how practicing and implementing brain healthy strategies can impact everyday life. For faculty/staff, we will also offer interactive workshops on how to create a brain healthy environment and classroom, including ways to implement and provide brain-healthy strategies and resources in their everyday operations involving students.

Primary outcome measure

  • BrainHealth Index (BHI) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12 ]
