What do we collect ?

The Minnesota Memory Project gathers health history and lifestyle information that may be associated with aging and caregiving. By joining the Minnesota Memory Project you will be contributing vital information that will help advance research efforts related to memory health. Your participation could help us improve diagnosis of memory loss, identify lifestyle changes that prevent memory loss and better understand the effects of caregiving on health and memory. Residents of states other than Minnesota are welcomed to participate.
