3 OBJECTIVES 3

4 Research Objectives OBJECTIVES The overarching goal of this research is to explore how consumers understand and perceive brain health and how AARP may affect consumer attitudes and behaviors around brain health in the future. Specific research objectives include: Understand attitudes and behaviors toward healthy living. Gauge importance of healthy living and associated activities, understand consumer self-perceptions regarding health, determine level of engagement in activities related to healthy living, and understand the role of specific parts of the body in overall health. Understand attitudes and behaviors toward brain health. Understand perceptions of brain deterioration and proactively engaging in activities that improve or maintain brain health. 4

5 Research Objectives (continued) OBJECTIVES Determine awareness, engagement, consideration, and motivation for brain training. Determine awareness of brain training. Determine which activities and brain training programs consumers currently engage and which they would consider in the future. Understand what events may trigger the need to start participating or increase participation in activities related to brain training. Determine primary sources for brain health research. Determine which sources consumers currently use or would consider using to research brain health and how sources are deemed trustworthy. 5

6 METHODOLOGY 6

7 Methodology METHODOLOGY W5 conducted a targeted total of 1,200 (N=1,200) online interviews with nationwide consumers, including: n=500 age n=500 age n=200 age n=207 African-American or Black n=110 Asian n=248 Acculturated Hispanic The data were weighted by age to reflect the US population (2010 Census). A more detailed description of the sample frame using the weighted data is shown on the following slide. The margin or error associated with a 95% confidence interval for the sample size N=1,200 consumers is +/- 2.8% The survey was fielded August 8-19, The average time for survey completion was 14 minutes. 7

9 CONCLUSIONS 9

10 Brain Health Perceptions CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION A Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to all consumers (99% find it at least somewhat important). Brain health is the second most important component in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, after heart health (37% find brain health most important while 51% find heart health most important). While adequate rest (86%), reduced stress (86%), proper nutrition (84%), and physical exercise (75%) are seen as the most important components to healthy living, consumers also engage in puzzles and games online (48%) and in newspapers, books, and magazines (37%). To better maintain a healthy lifestyle, consumers are willing to spend money on tools or resources to maintain or improve brain health (50% are very or extremely willing). See slides 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 10

11 Brain Training Engagement CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION B Brain training is a relatively well-known concept among consumers (52% are aware of brain training). Working on puzzles (70%), solving word problems (67%), math problems (59%), and playing memorization games (55%) are all popular cognitive exercises consumers have engaged to improve or maintain brain health. There is also interest in engaging in these activities in the future (43%, 44%, 46%, and 52% would consider these activities in the future respectively). Consumers are likely to engage in brain training to support living a more enjoyable, self-managed life (91%). Catastrophic events affecting the brain, inability to manage simple tasks, worsening memory, and witnessing a loved one suffer from a decline in brain health are primary motivators to participate in activities to maintain or improve brain health (76%, 74%, 74%, and 73% respectively). See slides 38, 39, 41, 43, 44 11

12 Program Usage CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION C Across brain training programs, consumers are primarily aware of Lumosity (51%) and Mind Games (35%). Brain HQ is the least used program (19% of those aware of the program), but given the most consideration for future usage (72% of those aware of the program). See slides 49, 50, 51 12

13 Information Sources CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION D Consumers primarily look to their doctor and friends or family to learn more about brain health (70% and 51% respectively). When researching brain health, consumers prefer sources supported by doctors (72%) and professionals (69%) that are current and up-to-date with supporting statistical data (57%). See slides 46, 48 13

14 Younger Consumer Opinions CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION E Younger consumers (age 34-49) are more inclined to feel brain health is the most important component to overall health (41% versus 34% of consumers age 50-75). However, they are also more likely to believe brain deterioration cannot be reversed (17% versus 12% of older consumers). Younger consumers believe the age when the brain peaks, begins to deteriorate, and requires planning for future brain health should occur earlier than older consumers (data shown on the following slide). See slides 15, 28 14

15 Younger Consumer Opinions (continued) DATA SUPPORT FOR CONCLUSION E CONCLUSIONS The perceived age at which consumers believe the brain is at its peak, begins to deteriorate, and when planning for future brain health should begin is proportional to their age. Age Perceived age at which the brain is at its peak Perceived age at which the brain begins to deteriorate Perceived age to begin planning future brain health Time after peak brain performance when future planning should begin 15

16 Activities Among Women CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION G Women are more motivated to participate in activities to improve or maintain brain health. Also, women feel it is important to play games and do puzzles online or in print (37% versus 23% of men and 40% versus 26%) and currently engage in such activities (53% versus 39% and 40% versus 32% respectively). As such, women are willing to spend money on tools and resources to maintain or improve brain health (54% are very or extremely willing versus 43% of men). See slides 26, 27, 29 16

17 Effect of Personal Experiences CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION H Consumers who have been affected by Alzheimer s Disease or dementia either personally or through a family member or friend are aware of the importance of maintaining and improving brain health. They believe brain health is the most important aspect of overall health (45% versus 35% of unaffected consumers), even above heart disease (44% versus 52%). Because they have seen the effects of brain deterioration, they are already participating in many activities to maintain or improve their brain health and are willing to spend for these activities (56% versus 48%). 17

18 Acculturated Hispanic Consumers CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION I Acculturated Hispanic consumers are aware of the importance of brain health on their overall health. They understand maintaining a healthy lifestyle goes beyond physical exercise and are more inclined to believe playing games and working on puzzles online (39% versus 29% non-hispanic consumers) and in newspapers, books, or magazines (45% versus 32%) are important tools in supporting their health. Given this, they are more aware of (60% versus 50%) and likely to engage in brain training activities (89% versus 83%). 18

19 African-American Opinions CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSION J African-American consumers have decided opinions regarding the importance of maintaining and improving brain health. They find brain health just as important to their overall health as heart health (43% find both components most important) and are therefore extremely likely to engage in brain training activities (55% versus 43% of non-african-american consumers). African-American consumers are especially motivated to maintain their brain health as a way to remain independent (70% versus 61% of non-african- American consumers), maintain healthy relationships (56% versus 46%), keep up with technology (37% versus 25%), and help others depending on them (55% versus 43%). 19
