Interventions

We are starting the Rural and Remote Memory Clinic-interventions (RRMCi). Interventions will be delivered by Telehealth to ensure accessibility for all SK residents. There is no fee for service, and participation in the research on these interventions is voluntary. The planned RRMCi is below

We are currently recruiting for a sleep intervention.

We are looking for older adults with cognitive concerns or dementia to take part in a study of a novel cognitive-behavioral (non-pharmacological) treatment for chronic insomnia. Caregivers of persons with mild cognitive impairment or dementia are also welcome to participate.

As a participant in this study, you would be asked to: fill out questionnaires, undergo a brief cognitive assessment, keep a diary of your sleeping patterns, and attend a number of treatment sessions. Treatment involves making some changes to your sleep patterns. Your participation would involve 4-8 sessions, each of which is approximately 60 minutes. If you live outside Saskatoon, we can use Telehealth for this intervention. We will ask for consent to use these data for research. Please contact Dr. Megan O'Connell at 306-966-2496 or 306-966-5925
