Behavioral Change Following Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Biomarker Disclosure (SHARED III)
Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer Disease, Amnestic Mild Cognitive Disorder
About this trial
This is an interventional health services research trial for Mild Cognitive Impairment focused on measuring AD Biomarkers, Alzheimer's Disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Amnestic Mild Cognitive Disorder
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosed with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment within the past 12 months,
- Available PET Aβ and tau imaging
Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant neurologic diagnosis (e.g., Alzheimer's dementia or other neurodegenerative dementia, Parkinson's disease, seizure disorder, tumor, multiple sclerosis)
- Neurologic injury (e.g., significant stroke or moderate-severe head injury, defined by loss of consciousness > 5 minutes, presence of significant post-traumatic amnesia, or the need for extended hospitalization or intervention)
- Motor abnormalities indicative of a non-AD etiology
- Severe mental illness (e.g., bipolar disorder, psychosis), moderate-severe mood or anxiety disorder, active substance use disorder (o reduce the likelihood of severe psychological distress, participants must screen negative for moderate-severe depressive or anxiety symptoms at study enrollment.)
- Inability to provide independent informed consent.

Diagnostic Disclosure
Biomarker and Diagnostic Disclosure
Personalized disclosure on cognitive test results and research diagnosis, plus post-disclosure dementia risk reduction counseling. For reporting purposes those participants randomized to this condition are analyzed by biomarker status (positive/+ or negative/-).
Participants receive information about their cognitive test results and research diagnosis. In addition, participants receive information about whether they currently have elevated or not-elevated amyloid and/or tau based on recent PET imaging. PET is a type of imaging biomarker (Aß-PET and tau PET) for clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. These actions are followed by post-disclosure dementia risk reduction counseling. For reporting purposes those participants randomized to this condition are analyzed by biomarker status (positive/+ or negative/-).
