   Proposal Description:
   The goal of our project is to test the longitudinal effect of a behavioral intervention in pwMCI for both the patient and their caregivers within 1 year. We will compare the trajectory of depressive symptoms in both the NACC and HABIT patients using multigroup latent growth curve modeling. The current project may also encourage future research on the potential effect of specific behavioral intervention programs on caregiver distress.
