Are Children with Disabilities Learning When Included in School? a Capability Approach to Participation in the Learning Process in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Children with disabilities represent 240 million globally. The sustainable development goal 4 calls for inclusive and equitable quality education for all, including children with disabilities. Unfortunately, children with disabilities are more likely to never attend school or drop out early in the process due to multiple barriers. We conducted a randomised control trial aiming at improving children’s learning outcomes in 203 primary schools of Af…
Structural and social determinants of health shape the impact of neurodegeneration and cerebrovascular pathology on cognitive functioning in black adults
Improving child mental health and learning outcomes and reducing stigma and discrimination in conflict setting
BACKGROUND: Conflict and crises have long-lasting and dramatic consequences on the mental health of children. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a psychosocial intervention on child mental health in Afghanistan. METHODS: A two-arm cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted in 83 rural primary schools within three provinces of Afghanistan. Children in Grades 3-6, their teachers, and one adult family member were enrolled. Schools w…
The Association Between Structural and Social Determinants of Health and Mood Disorder Symptoms Among Black Adults in the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area
Association Between Structural and Social Determinants of Health and Cognitive Functioning Among African Americans
These findings suggest that improving S/SDOH early in life for Black Americans through targeted public policies could reduce dementia risk later. This includes promoting equitable access to education and healthcare and implementing programs to reduce material hardship. The results also support policies that address structural racism and its impact on the health and well-being of Black Americans
The Place Where Danger Waits”
Longitudinal associations between speech-in-noise deficits and cognitive function over 8 years
Objective Hearing loss is a potentially modifiable risk factor for dementia, yet questions remain about its impact on cognitive trajectories. Hearing aid use has been proposed as a protective intervention, but findings are mixed. This study examined longitudinal associations between hearing loss, hearing aid use, and cognitive function, and explored the role of environmental noise exposure. Methods We prospectively studied 398 adults aged ≥65 yea…
From algorithms to zero-shot learning
Computational Phenotyping of Cognitive Decline With Retest Learning
Objectives Cognitive change is a complex phenomenon encompassing both retest-related performance gains and potential cognitive decline. Disentangling these dynamics is necessary for effective tracking of subtle cognitive change and risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Method We applied a computational cognitive model of learning and forgetting to data from Einstein Aging Study (EAS; n = 316). EAS participants complet…
Integrating Machine Learning and Environmental and Genetic Risk Factors for the Early Detection of Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease
Objective This study classified preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using cognitive screening, neighborhood deprivation via the area deprivation index (ADI), and sociodemographic and genetic risk factors. Additionally, it compared the predictive accuracy of multiple machine learning algorithms and examined model performance with two bootstrapping procedures. Methods Data were drawn from a longitudinal cohort that required participants to be age …
The impact of a participatory intervention to improve learning outcomes and reduce school-based discrimination and community stigma in primary rural schools of Afghanistan
Ageing among Black and non‐Hispanic White older adults
Older adults are living longer in the United States and the proportion of those belonging to minoritized groups is growing. The value and characteristics of quality of life (QoL) at an older age have becoming of central concern to policy makers. To investigate the wicked problem of ageing and QoL, we conducted and compared two group model building workshops in St. Louis City, one with 16 White and another with 10 Black American older adults, age …
The Association Between Women's Education and Employment and Household Food Security in Afghanistan
Dementia Risk and Social Determinants of Health Among Adults Racialized as Black
Background The aging population in the USA is projected to increase significantly, with a corresponding rise in dementia cases, particularly among racial minorities. This study examines the key drivers of racial disparities in dementia risk among older Black adults in the St. Louis area, a region characterized by entrenched structural racism. Utilizing a Community-Based System Dynamics (CBSD) approach, we engaged cognitively normal Black adults (…
Age-Specific Barriers and Facilitators to Research Participation Amongst African Americans in Observational Studies of Memory and Aging
Neuropsychological Correlates of Changes in Driving Behavior Among Clinically Healthy Older Adults
Attentional control is a key moderator of change over time in driving space but not driving performance in older adults. We speculate on mechanisms that may relate attentional control ability to modifications of driving behaviors
Disability, Poverty, and Schooling in Post-civil War in Sierra Leone
Recruitment of African American and Non-Hispanic White Older Adults for Alzheimer Disease Research Via Traditional and Social Media
Differences in Driving Outcomes Among Cognitively Normal African American and Caucasian Older Adults
