About this study

Official title: Behavioral Change Following Culturally Informed Biomarker Disclosure in Alzheimer's Disease

The proposed project will assess long-term changes to health/lifestyle, advanced planning, and research engagement that Black and White patients with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) make following disclosure of positron emission tomography-based amyloid and tau burden and associated risk of conversion to Dementia-Alzheimer's Type. Healthcare access will be explored as potential barrier to or facilitator of behavior change.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diagnostic Disclosure ProtocolBehavioural

    Personalized disclosure on cognitive test results and research diagnosis, plus post-disclosure dementia risk reduction counseling.

  • Biomarker Disclosure ProtocolBehavioural

    Participants receive information about their cognitive test results and research diagnosis just like in the diagnostic disclosure protocol. 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-disclosure health behavior change as measured by the health behavior subscale score

    Subscale is a part of the Stages of Change Interview. Respondents will rate seven items relating to behavioral changes they have made post-disclosure on a Likert scale ranging from 1 = "I have not considered/am not interested in making this change" to 5 = "I have already made and maintained this change." Subscale score total ranges from 7 to 35 with higher scores indicating more engagement.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Post-disclosure health behavior change as measured by the health communication subscale score

    Subscale is a part of the Stages of Change Interview. Respondents will rate two items relating to health communication using a Likert scale. Subscale score total ranges from 2 to 10 with higher scores indicating more engagement.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Post-disclosure health behavior change as measured by the advanced planning subscale score

    Subscale is a part of the Stages of Change Interview. Respondents will rate seven items relating to advanced planning using a Likert Scale. Subscale score total ranges from 7 to 35 with higher scores indicating more engagement.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Post-disclosure health behavior change as measured by the research engagement subscale score

    Subscale is a part of the Stages of Change Interview. Respondents will rate one item relating to research engagement on a Likert scale. Subscale score total ranges from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicating more engagement.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Percent participant retention in University of Michigan Memory and Aging Project (UMMAP) study

    Measured by attendance at study visits

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Model description
Randomized delayed start design. Participants are randomized to receive, at baseline, either 'Diagnostic Disclosure Protocol' (cognitive testing/diagnosis) with an option to receive biomarker results after 6 months or 'Biomarker Disclosure Protocol' (cognitive testing, diagnosis, positron emission tomography-based amyloid and tau imaging. They are further categorized by biomarker status (+/positive or -/negative) for reporting purposes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diagnostic Disclosure Protocol and Biomarker Disclosure Protocol in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-disclosure health behavior change as measured by the health behavior subscale score (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2026.
