Description
Faika Zanjani and four co-authors coach older adults in Richmond, Virginia, to cut their dementia risk by phone. The Richmond Brain Health Initiative targets service gaps in racially mixed neighborhoods. Recruits carry risks such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or felt memory decline. Coaching ran weekly for 12 weeks, then monthly for six months, in calls of 15 to 30 minutes.
Early data on 49 people, most over 60 and 38% Black, show movement. Dementia knowledge rose, weekly activity doubled from 1.5 to 3 hours, and cigarettes per day halved. Social activity also climbed. Results are preliminary while the program still runs.
