- Original description
This study will recruit participants at risk for dementia to participate in an online educational program called Brain Health PRO (BHPro). The BHPro intervention is designed to address modifiable risk factors for dementia through a 6-month, fully online, educational program conveying the best available evidence for lifestyle changes that can mitigate dementia risk, and foster engagement toward one's own brain health. Achieving lifestyle changes in a diverse Canadian population through online education would be a major achievement in dementia prevention in Canada, with widespread personal and socioeconomic benefits.Read full original descriptionShow less
