Summary

This pilot study adapted a behavioral intervention called BECOME to help people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their caregivers manage non-communicable diseases (like diabetes and high blood pressure) and common mental health conditions (like depression and anxiety). The study involved 12 participants and focused on making the program accessible for those with cognitive challenges. The goal was to test whether the adapted program is acceptable and feasible, not to measure health outcomes.
