About The Study
NYU Langone Health and Boston University School of Medicine are conducting a virtual study to understand how older adults’ interactions with their partners impact their wellbeing when they experience memory changes.
If you choose to participate in this study, you and your partner will each be asked to respond to a series of questionnaires every six months for a period of three years. Questions will be asked about relationship style, mental and physical health, social interactions, cognitive function, and caregiving, if relevant. Interviews will be conducted by video call or phone, and each will last approximately 1 hour.
Study Criteria
You are eligible to participate if:
- You and your partner are both 65 years of age or older and live together
- You or your partner are experiencing changes in thinking and memory
- You and your partner are both comfortable speaking English
- You and your partner both agree to participate
Why Participate?
You will be compensated for your time, be invited to annual seminars for study participants, and will be provided with information and referrals on request.
