MOSAAIC Cognitive Assessment Reading Center Administrative Supplement
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER CENTER · NIH-11361396
This project creates a central team to make sure cognitive tests are given and scored the same way for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults taking part in MOSAAIC.

What this research studies
If I take part, I would complete brief in-person cognitive tests covering memory, attention, language, processing speed, and visuospatial skills in my preferred language. A centralized Neurocognitive Reading Center will train and certify examiners, standardize scoring across sites, and review recordings to ensure consistent administration. The team will use translated test materials and community-informed procedures to keep results comparable across regions and languages, improving the overall quality of the MOSAAIC cognitive data.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are adults from Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander communities who enroll in the MOSAAIC cohort and complete in-person cognitive testing in one of the translated languages.
Not a fit: People who are not enrolled in MOSAAIC, do not complete the cognitive testing, or who are outside the AANHPI populations are unlikely to see direct benefits from this supplement.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work will make cognitive test results more reliable so researchers and clinicians can better detect and study memory and thinking problems in AANHPI communities.
How similar studies have performed: Centralized reading centers and standardized training have been used successfully in other large, multi-site aging and dementia studies to improve data consistency.
