AbstractObjectivesMethodResultsConclusionAging brings memory changes that can be concerning for some older adults. Whereas in-person memory interventions can positively impact knowledge, mental health, and behavioural outcomes, self-guided e-learning programs may offer scalable and accessible alternatives to in-person programming. The current study aimed to evaluate efficacy of an e-learning program compared to no treatment.The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03602768). As part of a larger, multi-arm, controlled trial, healthy older adults (ages 60-84, 71% female) were randomized into an intervention or a delayed-start control condition. Data collection personnel were masked to participant grouping. Outcome measures were completed through telephone interviews and online questionnaires at baseline, immediate post-intervention, and 6- to 8-week follow-up.Among 115 analyzed participants, there were larger improvements over time in memory knowledge, memory strategy acquisition and daily use, and self-reported memory satisfaction and ability in the group that completed the intervention than in the control group. There was no interaction effect for health-promoting behaviors. Intention-to-treat analyses showed attenuated but largely similar findings.This self-guided e-learning memory program demonstrated similar clinical outcomes provided by in-person, facilitator-led programs. It may serve as an effective first-line treatment for older adults presenting with memory concerns in clinical settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
