Overview
We are looking for volunteers with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and/or somebody close to them to take part in surveys and interviews to find out what is important to them. This will help with future research aiming to improve the lives of people with MCI.
Summary
What is the study about? What are you trying to find out?
We would like to come up with a list of outcomes that we recommend are measured during research into mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The list of outcomes will come from people who are living with, or know people with, MCI. This will help researchers to measure outcomes that are important and help us decide whether new treatments are effective in helping people with MCI.
What does taking part involve?
You will be asked to complete two surveys, answering questions about what outcomes you think are important to someone with MCI. Surveys can be completed online or via a paper form and sent back to the research team.
You may also be asked to talk with a researcher about what is important in MCI via an interview (or interviews) which will be audio-recorded. The interviews can be conducted online or face-to-face.
Who is it for?
You have been invited to take part you either have a diagnosis of MCI or you are someone who regularly interacts with someone with MCI (e.g., you are a relative, carer, or professional who works with someone with MCI). We want your opinions on what is important to someone with MCI.
Why is it important?
Taking part in this research will help us to encourage researchers to report outcomes (e.g., results from a new drug) that are most important to people with MCI.
