Your voice matters! By sharing your experiences of where you live and who you live with, you’ll help researchers understand how living situations may influence daily habits, health outcomes, and technology use as people age.  Advance knowledge on Alzheimer’s and related dementias. The study focuses on how living arrangements may influence changes in memory and thinking, which can help shape better care and prevention strategies.  Shape future support and technology. Your participation will guide the design of services and technologies that support independence, improve quality of life, and meet the real needs of adults as they age.

We will ask you to complete a brief screening form that includes some basic information—such as your name, age, address, and preferred contact method (email or phone). If you qualify for the study, we will invite you to meet with our study staff to verify your identity using a government-issued ID and take a quick memory assessment. Finally, you will be asked to complete the ASU SoLAr Registry Survey, which includes questions about your general information, living situation, thinking and memory, lifestyle activities such as your physical activity, sleep, and diet, medical conditions, needs, technology use, and social information.

Your time commitment may vary based on how quickly you read and complete the study surveys.   Eligibility Screening Form: About 15 minutes  Virtual meeting with staff: About 20 minutes  Annual ASU SoLAr Survey: Between 60–90 minutes

The identifiable information you provide will not be shared with anyone outside of the ASU SoLAr team. De-identified data may be shared with other researchers to help answer new scientific questions, but it will not be possible for these researchers to trace the data back to you.

Your information will only be used to send you updates about ASU SoLAr, contact you to complete follow-up surveys, and to match you with research studies that may be a good fit for you. When study results are reported, your information will be de-identified and combined with that of other participants so that findings are presented in aggregate, never individually.

The identifiable information you provide will not be shared with anyone outside of the ASU SoLAr team. De-identified data may be shared with other researchers to help answer new scientific questions, but it will not be possible for these researchers to trace the data back to you.
