Data Sheet 1_Development of a multimodal health education module for dementia prevention in at-risk rural Indian elders: a SMRUTHI INDIA initiative.docx

Simultaneously, a booklet containing ten themes was developed into thematic animated videos, and revised based on behavioural science expert feedback. CBM was assessed for understandability and actionability using Patient Education Material Assessment ToolPrint/Audio-Visual (PEMAT-P/AV).</p>Results<p>Intervention was developed in three languages (Hindi, Kannada, Bengali). In hospital setting and across periphery sites respectively, median (IQR) age was 61 (57, 66) years, mean age: 64.9 ± 5.8 years; median LIBRA: −4.6 (p = 0.02) and −1.0 (p = 0.001) (intervention arms).

Rural setting showed higher recruitment and retention rates with good adherence. Between 70 to 96%, participants rated booklet and videos as well understandable and actionable on PEMAT.</p>Conclusion<p>CBM demonstrated high content validity, acceptability, and adherence across rural settings. This suggests feasibility to conduct multidomain interventions for at-risk elderly to foster healthy ageing.</p>Clinical trial registration<p>ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/pmaindet2.php?EncHid=ODYxODY=&Enc=&userName=, Identifier CTRI/2024/01/061172.</p>
