Summary

This study is developing a short, personalized program called PERI-MIND to help menopausal women who are worried about dementia. The program includes education about menopause and dementia risk, plus practical skills to cope with fear. Researchers will first hold focus groups to understand women's needs, then test the program with 60 women to see if it is acceptable and feasible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: PERI-MIND (behavioral intervention: psychoeducation, psychological grounding, behavioral activation)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical, short-term program to help menopausal women cope with dementia fears and adopt healthier behaviors.
What could go wrong: This is a very early pilot study with only 60 participants and no control group. It tests feasibility, not effectiveness, so results may not generalize.
