Progress in Alzheimer's and dementia research depends on clinical trials, and eligible participants are needed to move this vital research forward. By participating in U.S. POINTER, you can help to broaden our understanding of risk reduction of cognitive decline.
A wide variety of volunteers, in particular those of diverse backgrounds and under-represented populations, is essential to exploring new approaches and strategies to advance Alzheimer’s research and address scientific gaps.

U.S. POINTER add-on studies look deeper into the science of the main study. The neuroimaging ancillary study is the first large-scale investigation of how lifestyle interventions affect biological changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. The sleep ancillary study will examine whether changes in sleep predict changes in overall cognitive function or in specific areas, such as memory.
