| Summary: | ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and
Vital Elderly), 1999-2001 [United States] was a multisite randomized
controlled trial conducted at six field sites with New England
Research Institutes (NERI) as the coordinating center. The field sites
included the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Hebrew Rehabilitation
Center for the Aged in Boston, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, Pennsylvania State University, and the
University of Florida/Wayne State University (Detroit). The primary
aim of the trial was to test the effects of three distinct cognitive
interventions -- previously found to be successful in improving
elders' performance on basic measures of cognition under laboratory or
small-scale field conditions -- on measures of cognitively demanding
daily activities. Trainings consisted of an initial series of 10 group
sessions followed by four-session booster trainings at one and three
years. The three cognitive interventions focused on memory, executive
reasoning, and speed of processing. The design included a no-contact
control group. Participants were assessed at baseline, immediately
after training, and annually thereafter. A total of 2,832 older adults
were enrolled in the trial, and 2,802 were included in the
analytical sample. Twenty-six percent of the participants were
African American. |

| Sample: | The sample consisted of 2,832 persons aged 65 to 94
recruited from six metropolitan areas in the United States. The
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) recruited participants from
residents of Jefferson County, AL, who were licensed to drive or who
possessed nondriver ID cards issued through the Alabama Department of
Public Safety, and they recruited from UAB eye clinics. The Hebrew
Rehabilitation Center for the Aged (HRCA) in Boston recruited from
congregate and senior housing sites, senior centers, and a registry of
volunteers for aging research at the Harvard Cooperative Program on
Aging. Indiana University recruited clients of the Community Centers
of Indianapolis and through local churches and senior organizations.
Johns Hopkins University recruited from senior centers, churches,
senior housing, and senior organizations in the Baltimore metropolitan
area and in Cumberland, MD. Pennsylvania State University recruited
from the enrollment files of a state-funded pharmaceutical assistance
program for low-income elders, called PACE. And Wayne State University
recruited from community organizations, churches, and senior housing
in metropolitan Detroit, as well as from state driver registration
lists. The study design also included a no-contact control group. |
