Improving care for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
Design-Statistical Core
This study is working to improve care and health for people with Alzheimer's and related dementias by creating practical trials that help researchers find better ways to support them, especially by making sure everyone is included and that we can handle any missing information.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the care and health outcomes for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias through the development of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs). The Design/Statistics Core will collaborate with various teams to provide biostatistical expertise and guidance in designing and analyzing these trials. By addressing specific challenges related to dementia care, such as handling missing data and ensuring inclusivity of under-represented groups, the project aims to create a robust framework for future studies. This initiative will also contribute to a knowledge repository that can be utilized by other researchers in the field.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, as well as their caregivers.
Not a fit: Patients with non-dementia related cognitive impairments or those without a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatment strategies and better health outcomes for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using pragmatic clinical trials to improve healthcare outcomes, indicating that this approach is promising.
