Summary

This pilot study tests a 12-week mindful walking program for older South Asian family caregivers (age 45+) who feel stressed and care for someone with cognitive disabilities. Fifty participants will be split into two groups: one does mindful walking with a Fitbit and motivational texts, the other does not. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps reduce stress, improve thinking, and boost physical activity.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mindful walking intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help stressed caregivers feel better and think more clearly.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 50 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing feasibility, not yet proven to work.
