Parental perspectives on brain health education for primary school-aged children
Background Up to 45% of dementia risk is considered modifiable across the life course. Research demonstrates that exposure to education in childhood can increase positive brain health outcomes in later life. While mid- and late-life educational interventions have been extensively studied, there is limited empirical evidence examining the appropriateness of education programs, including prevention approaches initiated in childhood, particularly th…

Parental acceptance of brain health programs for preschool children
Background Recent research proposes that as much as 40% of dementia risk is amendable. Promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in early life through educational methods can cultivate habits that may decrease dementia risk in later life. This study explores parental acceptance of brain health programs tailored for preschool children, aiming to identify barriers and facilitators affecting parental and child engagement. Methods Mixed-methods cross-sec…
Older adults’ perspectives towards optimizing lifestyle behaviors and strategies to support healthy brain ageing during Covid-19 restrictions
Introduction: It is unknown how the impact of COVID-19 restrictions has affected brain healthy behaviors that contribute to dementia risk reduction in older adults. Our aim was to explore perspectives of older adults on lifestyle behaviors that support positive brain health and dementia risk reduction during and following COVID-19 restrictions. Methods: = 159) during June to October 2021 (the second wave of COVID-19 restrictions) who had taken pa…
Beyond memory
Neurocognitive disorders involves progressive decline in cognition, function, behavior and needs. Recent developments have identified the need to characterize social cognition in individuals with neurocognitive impairments to support uncertainty in clinical decision making, treatment plans and monitoring individual change. Routine social cognition assessments have thus been more recently used and adopted in persons with dementia or mild cognitive…
Breaking the barriers
Dementia is a global health concern that affects individuals irrespective of their cultural or linguistic backgrounds. However, research has long recognized the pronounced stigma associated with dementia, particularly within Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities. This article seeks to summarize the underlying factors contributing to the heightened levels of dementia stigma within CALD communities, through a review of the litera…

I go home with a happy heart’. Enhancing community aged care services to sustain togetherness
Social participation is critical to the health and well-being of older adults, however, participation often declines with age. Research has identified that personal and environmental factors such as high socioeconomic status and accessible transportation are associated with higher levels of social participation. However, the barriers and facilitators to social participation experienced by older adults receiving community aged care services remain…
Integrating social engagement instruments into Australian community aged care assessments to enhance service provision
Rich social relationships contribute to improved well-being and health outcomes, yet aged care client assessments tend to focus almost exclusively on physical issues. We aim to explore the experiences of aged care staff following their use of social engagement and well-being instruments as part of routine assessments for home-care clients. The social engagement (Australian Community Participation Questionnaire, ACPQ) and well-being (ICEpop CAPabi…
