Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Introduction Participants from a longitudinal cohort study were surveyed to evaluate the practical feasibility of remote cognitive assessment. Methods All active participants/informants at the University of California San Diego Alzheimer's Disease Research Center were invited to complete a nine-question survey assessing technology access/use and willingness to do cognitive testing remotely. Results Three hundred sixty-nine of 450 potential participants/informants (82%) completed the survey. Overall, internet access (88%), device ownership (77%), and willingness to do cognitive testing remotely (72%) were high. Device access was higher among those with normal cognition (85%) or cognitive impairment (85%) than those with dementia (52%), as was willingness to do remote cognitive testing (84%, 74%, 39%, respectively). Latinos were less likely than non-Latinos to have internet or device access but were comparable in willingness to do remote testing. Discussion Remote cognitive assessment using interactive video technology is a practicable option for nondemented participants in longitudinal studies; however, additional resources will be required to ensure representative participation of Latinos.

How this study scored 62/100
Published in a leading specialty journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 36 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 62 out of 100.
