Who may be able to join
- People aged between 50 and 80 years old (inclusive).
- People who score 16 or above on a telephone-based memory and thinking test called the MoCA.
- People aged 50 to 64 who score 27 or above on a standard cognitive test called the MMSE, or people aged 65 to 80 who score 26 or above on the same test.
- People aged 50 to 60 must also meet at least one of the following: (1) a close blood relative (parent, sibling, or child) was diagnosed with dementia before age 75; (2) they carry a gene variant called APOE e4; or (3) a previous brain scan or spinal fluid test showed elevated levels of a protein called amyloid.
- People who are conversationally fluent in English to a level where an interpreter is not needed to understand study information, procedures, and cognitive tests.
- If a person chooses to take part in an optional results-disclosure process within the study, they must have a suitable study partner who agrees to participate, is able to understand and communicate in English without an interpreter, and has no significant intellectual, vision, or hearing difficulties.
- People with sufficient vision and hearing to complete neuropsychological (brain and thinking) tests.
- People who are willing and able to sign a written consent form agreeing to take part.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People who have already been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
- People with a history of significant brain injury or a neurological (brain or nervous system) condition that has caused lasting effects on thinking or memory — for example, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke with lasting cognitive effects, or a past brain infection (confirm with trial site for full list).
- People with a serious or unstable physical illness or organ failure that, in the lead researcher's judgement, would make participation difficult — such as terminal cancer or serious heart, liver, kidney, lung, or other major organ disease; however, a history of cancer is acceptable if the person has been in remission for at least one year with a good outlook.
- People who have had clinically significant depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide within the past year, as defined by the current psychiatric diagnostic guidelines (DSM).
- People with a history of schizophrenia as defined by the current psychiatric diagnostic guidelines (DSM).
- People with a history of chronic alcohol or drug misuse or dependence within the past year, as defined by the current psychiatric diagnostic guidelines (DSM).
- People who use marijuana frequently will be asked to stop using it at least 24 hours before any study assessments (occasional use is otherwise acceptable).
- People who are unwilling or unable to complete the study procedures.
- People who are currently enrolled in another study involving a clinical drug trial or other medical intervention.
