Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Based on the stakeholder responses from fifteen providers and twenty community members, there was strong consensus in the need for local brain health services. The most highly recommended screening needs were for caregiving, cognitive status, and lifestyle risks. Thereafter the RBHI screening/intake was developed and completed by 45 community participants. Participants showed hypertension (62%) as the most prevalent brain health risk factor, followed by depression/anxiety (56%), and loneliness (44%). The intake also indicated cognitive and functional deficits, with the Montreal Cognitive mean equaling 18.4 and the Functional Activities mean equaling 14.9. Additionally, 73% of participants reported experiencing subjective cognitive decline. This study showcases a model for promoting brain health in racially diverse communities to improve access to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia resources and services.

Key findings

Based on the stakeholder responses from fifteen providers and twenty community members, there was strong consensus in the need for local brain health services.
The most highly recommended screening needs were for caregiving, cognitive status, and lifestyle risks.
Thereafter the RBHI screening/intake was developed and completed by 45 community participants.
Participants showed hypertension (62%) as the most prevalent brain health risk factor, followed by depression/anxiety (56%), and loneliness (44%).
The intake also indicated cognitive and functional deficits, with the Montreal Cognitive mean equaling 18.4 and the Functional Activities mean equaling 14.9.

Why it matters

A community brain health initiative in Richmond found strong consensus on the need for local services, with hypertension, depression or anxiety, and loneliness as the most common risk factors among 45 participants. This describes a model for improving access to dementia resources and services, not a treatment, cure, or prevention.
