Cognition Study

STUDY BASICS

Are you a Non-Hispanic White woman or a Non-Hispanic Black woman between the ages of 67 and 76 years old with no history of stroke? Is English your preferred language? You may be able to participate in a research study of in-person and telephone-based memory and concentration tasks.

STUDY PURPOSE

The primary objective is to compare telephone-based cognition testing to face-to-face testing in 67-76 years-old women, and if differences are found between the results of phone testing and in-person testing, to create adjustment/correction formulas. These formulas are intended to make telephone-based scores comparable to scores obtained in face-to-face testing.

COULD THIS STUDY BE RIGHT FOR YOU?

• Identify as a Non-Hispanic White woman or a Non-Hispanic Black woman
• Are between 67 and 76 years of age
• Your preferred language is English
• Have never had a stroke

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT

The study will include one 15-minute-long telephone interview and one in-person interview, which will last 30 minutes. The two interviews will be separated by 2-4 weeks. In these interviews you will answer questions designed to test your memory, attention, language fluency and spatial skills, and assess your thinking speed.
