Summary

This trial is testing a new, cheaper way to detect dementia in primary care settings.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are active patients at participating clinics, have not been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's Disease, and aren't on medications for these conditions. They must also have enough data available to calculate what's called an eRADAR score. People currently in hospice care cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new strategy to detect dementia early in primary care settings by using a Brain Health Assessment tool. It aims to be low-cost and patient-friendly while improving the identification of cognitive issues.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an assessment rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are no direct physical side effects associated with the intervention being tested.
