Case-Finding for Neurocognitive Disorders in Pavia

The intervention targets individuals reporting cognitive concerns without a prior diagnosis of MCI or dementia, with participants accessing three different settings for evaluation. The first setting involves General Practitioner (GP) offices, where GPs, trained in dementia risk factors and cognitive assessment tools (such as GPcog), will identify at-risk patients and refer them for further evaluation at a Center for Cognitive Disorders and Dementia (CCDD). The second setting is the Dementia Operations Center (COD) Information Desk, a public service where neuropsychologists assess citizens who independently report cognitive disturbances. The third setting includes Open Days, public events aimed at detecting early signs of cognitive decline, where neuropsychologists will assess participants using the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) and the LIBRA Index. Individuals identified as at-risk in any of the three settings will be referred for further evaluation at a CCDD.
