Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to rigorously assess the efficacy of an 8-week social engagement OneClick intervention. A total of 120 older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (60 per group) will be randomized after a baseline assessment to the social engagement OneClick intervention group or the waitlist control group. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive the social engagement OneClick intervention for 8 weeks, and will complete a mid-assessment at week 4, and a post-assessment at week 8. Participants assigned to the waitlist control group will receive no intervention for the first 8 weeks and will complete assessments at week 4 and week 8. Subsequently, as an extension to this study, participants assigned to the waitlist control group will have an opportunity to participate in 8 weeks of social engagement OneClick intervention.
