Models of patient engagement for Alzheimer’s disease

Dementia researchers are increasingly focusing their efforts on finding ways to prevent the onset of dementia symptoms in the first place, and for this they need to work with people who are still in the very earliest stages of the disease. The MOPEAD project aims to identify and test different models for engaging with this important group and determine which models work best in different situations. As well as adding to our understanding of the earliest stages of dementia, the project will facilitate recruitment for clinical trials and, most importantly, ensure that patients are able to access support from early on in their disease.
