Study Summary
Approximately one-fifth of community dwelling older adults exhibits mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and despite this being an early caregiving role, assisting a person with MCI is stressful and challenging. The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot test a communication-based psychoeducation program for persons with MCI and their care partners to improve their interpersonal management of MCI. The study team will be recruiting 30 adults throughout the US, though predominantly in GA, to serve on a virtual advisory board, which will meet every other week via webinar software to develop a virtual psychoeducation program for care partner dyads.
