Education Research: Online Alzheimer education for high school and college students: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Alzheimer disease (AD) risk factors are present throughout the lifespan. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of various online education strategies concerning AD risk reduction and brain health in younger populations.

Method: High school and college students were recruited via social media (Facebook and Instagram) to join AlzU.

Effectiveness of online education for recruitment to an Alzheimer's disease prevention clinical trial.

Introduction: Low awareness of Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials is a recruitment barrier. To assess whether online education may affect screening rates for AD prevention clinical trials, we conducted an initial prospective cohort study (n = 10,450) and subsequent randomized study (n = 351) using an online digital tool: AlzU.org.

Using social media to disseminate education about Alzheimer's prevention & treatment: a pilot study on Alzheimer's universe (www.AlzU.org).

Background: The use of social media may be a valuable tool for dissemination of patient education interventions. However, in Alzheimer's disease (AD), little data exists about the effectiveness, associated cost, or conditions for utilization.
