Strengthening and enhancing the utility of a neuropsychological tool for dementia in First Nations People

Principal Investigator

This study will strengthen and enhance the utility of the KICA tool, enabling earlier and more effective diagnosis of dementia and mild neurocognitive disorder in older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Firstly, we will review and revise the current KICA tool though collaborative co-design with Elders and clinicians, and research teams who have adapted the KICA in other settings. Next, we will revise and validate a revised KICA tool with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 45 years and above, sampled from 4 different sites across Australia. Lastly, we will co-design training packages and facilitate translation of the revised KICA into policy and practice.
