This webinar will provide an overview of HART’s more than two-decade long research work in the Torres Strait and Northern Peninsula Area. This research has focused on addressing clinical priorities identified by the team and local communities through their clinical work providing geriatric services in the region. The team have conducted a dementia prevalence study; identified specific dementia risk factors; developed a framework for ageing well; and developed and validated culturally appropriate screening tools. The team are now implementing a pilot multimodal program to address high rates of mild cognitive impairment in the region. This program has been co-designed with communities to be culturally appropriate and acceptable.
