Overview

To continue the program of intervention development of our Northwell Roybal Center, we learned from the previous six trials that we conducted in our prior Roybal Center and decided to design two new trials. 

​

The long-term objective of these two programs of research is to identify the intervention effect, putative mechanism of behavior change (MoBC), and heterogeneity of treatment effect of a 4-behavior change technique intervention on forming healthy walking habits among caregivers for individuals with AD/ADRD.
