CBT for African Americans With Cognitive Impairment

The group-based CBT intervention will include twelve 1-hour group sessions held biweekly for six months. Each sixty-minute session will consist of 15 minutes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevention education and approximately 45 minutes of CBT presentations/engagement activities. A physician and a Behavioral Interventionist will collaboratively facilitate the group sessions.

Participants in the phone-based CBT will be asked to reserve a 1-hour period for a phone call from the Behavioral Interventionist biweekly for six months. Text reminders will be sent to the participant's prior the sessions. This intervention will follow the same frequency and format as the group-based CBT and will use an established protocol incorporating the same elements of cognitive behavior change as in the group-based CBT, but without the opportunity for group-interaction.
