Experimental Treatment

Group I: Single-ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

All participants in this phase of the project will receive the active working memory training intervention (15, 20-30-minute computer-based training sessions over the course of 5 to 7 weeks). Additionally, key stakeholders will be asked to participate in a qualitative interview following the intervention to refine future models of intervention delivery in traditionally underserved communities.
