Abstract
Effective screening for communicative ability in dementia is vital to drive theoretical understanding and optimize care responsiveness globally. Communication is central to the human experience; however, routine clinical screening for progressive communication change remains limited due to a variety of resource constraints. Other challenges include the subtlety of early communication-led symptoms, heterogeneous underlying pathologies, and a lack of culturally diverse research and tools. To address the scarcity of dedicated assessment resources, future initiatives must maximize responsiveness to and representation of our global population to appropriately respond to the rising, and vastly diverse, dementia crisis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Alzheimer''s Disease (JAD) is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer''s disease. The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, hypotheses, ethics reviews, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer''s disease.
