What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Changes in Executive Function | Changes in executive function composite score measured by the NIH Toolbox Cognition Module | Baseline, 16 weeks | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Changes in Nutritional Status | Nutritional status will be assessed by the Nutritionist Pro (Axxya Systems, Redmond, WA), a nutrition analysis software that can be used for diet 24 hour recalls. Participants will be asked to recall food intake for one weekday and one weekend day. | Baseline, 16 weeks. | 
| Changes in Sleep Quality as measured by the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index | The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index has seven component scores that are added to yield one global score, with a range of 0-21 points, 0 indicating no difficulty and 21 indicating severe difficulties in all areas. | Baseline, 16 weeks. |
