This Brain Health toolkit was created by a team of experts at the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Southern California. It is supported by the California Department of Public Health, Alzheimer’s Disease Program.
The toolkit is a free resource for people ages 55 years+ and their care partners. Its overarching goal is to increase awareness of brain health in order to support earlier detection of dementia. It does this with tools that encourage people who may have symptoms of cognitive impairment to talk to their primary care clinicians. It also encourages people to take action to support their brain health via specific behavioral suggestions.
Research to evaluate the implementation and efficacy of the toolkit is ongoing.
Contact Deborah Barnes, Ph.D. at brainhealthtoolkit@ucsf.edu to learn more about participating in evaluation research.
