In-Lab Activities
– Participants will travel to University of Michigan for in-person visits at the start of the study and again at the one- and two-year follow-ups. Each partner will complete a 60-minute cognitive assessment during these visits.
– Participants will also complete a 60-minute phone interview at the start of the study and again at each follow-up. A short video call will be scheduled after the first interview to review study steps.
– Phone interviews, cognitive assessments, and check-in calls will be audio recorded as part of the study.
At-Home Activities

– Participants will also complete two brief check-in phone calls at 6 months and 18 months.
