The purpose of this study is to develop a linguistically and culturally appropriate adaptation of the Memory Support System (MSS), an evidence-based intervention to train persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to complete personal goals and instrumental activities of daily living independently. The study will involve development of the associated manual, training and patient forms, and outcome measures, and pilot testing of the intervention in a group of French-speaking individuals with MCI and their care partners
At enrollment, participants with MCI and their care partners will complete French measures evaluating cognitive and functional status. Participants and partners will also complete French measures of treatment adherence, instrumental activities of daily living, self-efficacy for memory, quality of life, mood, anxiety, and caregiver burden at baseline, treatment end, and 8-week follow-up. Participants will complete the MSS training consisting of ten 1-hour sessions delivered over two or six weeks, starting 7-10 days after initial assessment.

| Memory Support System | Behavioral | The MSS is a two-page-per-day, pocket-sized calendar/note-taking system with three sections: (a) events; (b) to do's; and (c) journaling for logging important things to be remembered (e.g., news about family/friends). MSS training consists of ten 1-hour sessions delivered over two or six weeks, starting 7-10 days after baseline assessment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence to French Memory Support System Intervention | Change from adherence scores from one week after starting treatment (MSS intervention) at treatment end and at 8 weeks after the treatment end. Using an adherence scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being highest and a cut-off score of ≥ 7 points suggesting adherence with the MSS. | One week after starting the treatment (MSS intervention), treatment end, and at 8 week follow-up after treatment end. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale | Change from baseline scale scores at treatment end and at 8 weeks after treatment end. Depression screening scale using Likert scale. Total score of 0-60 points, with higher scores signifying a worse outcome (higher levels of depression). | Baseline, treatment end and at 8 week follow-up. |
