Introduction to special issue
The Special Issue, “Indigenous Dementia Research Insights: An Interdisciplinary and Community-Based Approach” showcases innovative research being conducted by and with Indigenous communities across the globe to address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The papers included here span AD/ADRD intervention work, tool validation, and epidemiology among Indigenous Peoples globally. While this area of research is still nascent, these …
Privileging the spirit, voices, and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in dementia care
Data show that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiencing dementia receive services at mainstream health organizations and from non-Indigenous health care providers. It is imperative that non-Indigenous health care providers are educated about culturally respectful and safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with dementia. The purpose of this research was to partner with Aboriginal Elders to co-design and …
A comparison of cognitive and health assessment tools used in a dementia prevention and risk management program for urban-dwelling older aboriginal Australians (Dampaa)
In partnership with Aboriginal Elders and Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, we developed a dementia risk management and prevention program for Aboriginal Australians aged ≥45 years. In this study, we report neuropsychological assessment data for people who underwent eligibility screening and baseline assessment and explore associations between the cognitive assessment tools used. Fifty Aboriginal people living in metropolitan Perth, …
Developing a best-practice guide to support care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples living with cognitive impairment and dementia
Dementia is a global health issue. Although best-practice guidelines for detection and management of dementia exist for primary care, there is a pressing need for culturally appropriate resources to support care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with cognitive impairment and dementia. A best-practice guide (BPG) for cognitive and dementia care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people attending primary care was develo…
Process evaluation of a co-designed best practice model of dementia care in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary care
Optimising brain health for older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is important given the high rates of cognitive impairment and dementia (CI/D) in this population. To achieve this, effective models of care for the primary care setting are needed. This paper reports on the process evaluation of a stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial conducted with 12 Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) across four st…
Process Evaluation of a Dementia Prevention Program for Aboriginal Australians (Dampaa) Using a Theory of Change Framework
A co-designed, Aboriginal health practitioner-led dementia risk management program (DAMPAA) was implemented from 2021 to 2024 to address the growing concern of dementia among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Western Australia. Key features of DAMPAA included group walking and yarning sessions incorporating health and well-being education twice a week, alongside a six-month home program. A theory of change framework guided a parall…
Counting the Ways That Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Older People Participate in Their Communities and Culture
The social lives of older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were characterized by widespread participation in cultural events and activities. These findings provide important insights into services as they support older people to live a good life
Video remote interpreting for home-based cognitive assessments
Many health and social care services are implementing video remote interpreting (VRI) to deal with supply shortages and high costs of language interpreting for linguistically diverse clients. This qualitative study examines stakeholders’ perspectives on using VRI for home-based cognitive assessments, which are routinely performed with older people during aged care assessments in Australia. We conducted 25 semi-structured interviews with clients, …

Assessing cognitive impairment in Indigenous Australians
The Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (KICA) was initially developed and validated as a culturally appropriate dementia screening tool for older Indigenous people living in the Kimberley. This paper describes the re-evaluation of the psychometric properties of the cognitive section (KICA-Cog) of this tool in two different populations, including a Northern Territory sample, and a larger population-based cohort from the Kimberley. In both p…

Early dementia can be difficult to diagnose in older persons from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. The Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG) and the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) were compared in 151 older, community-dwelling persons. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, while…
