Summary: Home-Based Assessment Study: monitoring cognitive function in individuals without having to visit the doctor's office, a no treatment study

Many individuals at risk for cognitive decline are not able to make visits to a medical clinic due to many circumstances such as a lack of transportation, impaired mobility, or costs. This study aims to determine if there are alternative methods to determine cognitive function using in house assessments. Methods tested will include 1) mail in form with live phone, 2) automated telephone using touch-tone responding or 3) computer-based evaluation.

Patient Inclusion Criteria:

• Must be 75 years old or older
• Willing and able to take a study medication (vitamin)
• Able to answer and dial a telephone, access to mail, and minimal computer skills (will teach if willing to learn)

Patient Exclusion Criteria:

• Continued use of own multi-vitamins
• Life expectancy of less than five years
