Risk Factors for Cognitive Impairment in Adults Attending Australian Community‐Based Substance Use Treatment Services
A critical realist analysis of digital health screening for older people in prison
The growing cohort of older people (50+) in Australian prisons have high rates of physical, psychosocial and cognitive conditions, with evidence that many of these remain underdiagnosed or undetected. It is necessary to better identify the priority health and social needs of older people in prison to ensure a safe, equitable and cost-effective prison health system. Increased digital health screening in prison is seen as one promising approach to …
“Equipping and enabling” health literacy during a “time of change”
BACKGROUND: This qualitative study investigated experiences and understandings of health literacy for those released from prison in later life. The global rise in older incarcerated individuals-defined as those aged 50 and above-poses significant public health and health equity challenges. With up to one in four prisoners being categorized as "older," their complex health needs often exceed those of younger inmates and the general community. An i…
Multi-sector stakeholder consensus on tackling the complex health and social needs of the growing population of people leaving prison in older age
Characteristics of domestic violence perpetrators with dementia from police records using text mining
This study demonstrates that some cases of DV perpetrated by people with reported dementia are significant enough to warrant police involvement. This highlights the need to proactively discuss the potential for violence as part of the holistic management and support family members, particularly those caring for people with young-onset dementias
Looking out across the front yard
There was interest and engagement in the concept of frailty by Aboriginal older adults and approaches to frailty that extend beyond the physical to address cognitive, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual domains are likely to be more acceptable to this population. Culture and community connectivity are essential elements in preventing and alleviating frailty and have wider positive implications for Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Existing tools …
Accelerated aging in people experiencing homelessness
Introduction: Older people experiencing homelessness (PEH) are a rapidly growing population at risk of accelerated aging and the early onset of geriatric conditions. One construct that shows promise in predicting age-related decline is frailty. Better understanding the rates and causes of frailty in PEH may improve understanding of its antecedents, thereby facilitating more targeted health and aged care service interventions. The aim of this stud…
The Feasibility of Goal Management Training to Address Cognitive Impairment in an Outpatient Alcohol Treatment Population
People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) exhibit high rates of comorbidity with cognitive deficits, particularly for executive function (EF). Cognitive impairment has been related to poorer outcomes in substance use treatment. Goal management training (GMT), a structured, therapist-led manualised intervention targeting EF, has demonstrated positive preliminary results in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs.. However, these studies have …
Cross‐sector learning collaboratives can improve post‐diagnosis care integration for people with young onset dementia
Post-diagnosis young onset dementia (YOD) care is often fragmented, with services delivered across aged care, healthcare, and social care sectors. The aim of this project was to test the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a learning collaborative implementation strategy for improving the cross-sector integration of care for people with YOD and to generate data to refine the implementation strategy for scaleup. We conducted a longitudinal …
Frailty in Indigenous Populations
Background: Indigenous populations experience high rates of age-related illness when compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts. Frailty is a challenging expression of aging and an important public health priority. The purpose of this review was to map what the existing literature reports around frailty in Indigenous populations and to highlight the current gaps in frailty research within the Indigenous landscape. Method: Scoping review of Eng…
Threat Perception in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Dementia
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia affect many aspects of emotion processing. Even though the ability to detect threat is a particularly important aspect of emotion processing, no study to date has assessed threat perception in either of these groups. The purpose of the present study was to test whether individuals with MCI (n = 38) and mild dementia (n = 34) have difficulty differentiating between faces and situations normatively judge…
