The American Psychological Association Public Interest and Science Directorates, in conjunction with the National Institute on Aging (NIA), are sponsoring a free webinar, “New Alzheimer’s Guidelines: How Will Research and Practice Be Affected?“ on October 3rd from 2:00-3:30 p.m. EDT. Its purpose is to provide information about the recently published Alzheimer’s Guidelines.
The webinar will be moderated by Glenn Smith, PhD, (Mayo Clinic). Presenters will be psychologist members of each of the three NIA/AD guideline working groups: Drs. Marilyn Albert (
New guidelines for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) were published in April, 2011 by the Alzheimer’s Association and the National Institute on Aging. Three papers published by the working groups are devoted to three phases of Alzheimer’s pathology (preclinical, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer ’s disease) and detail research advances, and the gaps in knowledge to which new research might be applied.
It is hoped that this webinar will enhance psychologists’ understanding about how the guidelines may affect research and practice. Psychologists have raised questions about the guidelines, including whether the guidelines will require that biomarker data be collected from all participants in research studies on cognitive aging. Registration Information follows.
You are also invited to submit questions prior for the presenters prior to the webinar but PLEASE NOTE: you must register separately for the webinar (below). A separate registration is required at the question submission portal, http://apaoutside.apa.org/PubIntCSS/Public/ but that does not result in registration for this webinar.
