Improving Health of Individuals

U-M Collaborations

COG-HSR is involved in research collaborations, such as U-M REACH OUT, which explores mobile health approaches for cognition and blood pressure in African Americans, and U-M Sleep SMART, a trial assessing CPAP treatment post-stroke. U-M CAPRA focuses on policies to mitigate dementia's impact, while U-M/USC LASI examines the links between education, cardiovascular health, air pollution, and cognitive decline in India. The U-M HRS HCAP follows up on the 2016 HRS cognitive study, U-M BASIC COG surveys cognitive impairment in a Texas bi-ethnic community, and U-M BASIC conducts stroke surveillance in Nueces County, Texas.
U-M REACH OUT

This study will extend the data collection of Reach Out, our ongoing clinical trial to explore innovative mobile health approaches of measuring cognition and blood pressure among our predominately work-age African American participants. 

U-M Sleep SMART

This phase III, open-label, blinded-endpoint assessment, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial will test the effect of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP after acute ischemic stroke reduces mortality and cardiovascular events and improves stroke recovery.

U-M CAPRA

The Center to Accelerate Population Research in Alzheimer’s (CAPRA) is focused on science that informs government and healthcare organization actions to address the negative impacts of dementia on health and financial well being of individuals and the population.

U-M/USC LASI

This study will determine the relationship of educational attainment, cardiovascular health, and ambient air pollution to the risk for cognitive decline and dementia in a nationally-representative sample of adults in India using new data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI).

U-M HRS HCAP

This study will conduct a follow-up to the 2016 Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) sub-study.

U-M BASIC COG

This project aims to use door-to-door surveillance in Texas, a non-immigrant, bi-ethnic community, to determine the prevalence and trajectory over time of cognitive impairment and dementia in Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites.

U-M BASIC

The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project is a population-based stroke surveillance project of a non-immigrant community of Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites in Nueces County, Texas.
