What this trial studies

This pilot pragmatic randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptance of group-based dual-task training designed to prevent cognitive decline among community-dwelling older adults. The study will involve a co-design approach where older adults help develop the intervention, followed by training staff or volunteers at community centers to lead the sessions. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group, and their recruitment, attendance, retention, and satisfaction rates will be assessed throughout the study.
