Cognitively healthy and mildly cognitively impaired participants engage in 16 weeks of triadic neighborhood walking using a group tablet device to access pre-programmed 1-mile routes. GPS (Global Positioning System)-triggered historical images of local Black culture and history along the route prompt conversational reminiscence about Portland, Oregon's historically Black neighborhoods. Digital biomarker technology (a continuously worn actigraph watch and an unobtrusive under-the-mattress sleep sensor) and weekly online surveys via a study Chromebook assess feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and health outcomes. Intermittent discussions and check-ins with participants, and observational sessions will be used to elicit participant feedback.
