Официальное название

Demenz-freundliche Apotheken Als Ressource für Psychische Gesundheit im Alter

Обзор

The DARE study (Dementia-Friendly Apothecaries as a Resource for Mental Health in the Elderly) is a multicenter, prospective cohort study aiming to identify individuals with cognitive impairments early in pharmacies and enhance their access to support services. Partner pharmacies are equipped with memory test stations, and pharmaceutical staff are trained to guide participants. The digital memory test evaluates cognitive, psychosocial, and health factors, displaying results in a traffic light graphic. Participants with concerning results are referred to specialists or support services. The study's primary goals are to establish pharmacies as dementia screening hubs, improve care for affected individuals, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and lay the groundwork for legal and billing frameworks. An optional subproject validates the screening through neurological evaluations.

Подробное описание

The DARE study (Dementia-Friendly Apothecaries as a Resource for Mental Health in the Elderly) is a multicenter, prospective cohort initiative designed to identify individuals with early cognitive impairments through pharmacies, making healthcare and support more accessible. It targets people with initial cognitive symptoms or mild dementia and aims to promote early intervention and improve quality of life.

Key Features:

* Screening Process: Partner pharmacies (10 across urban and rural settings) are equipped with memory test stations, including tablets for digital cognitive assessments and structured questionnaires. These cover cognitive decline, cardiovascular risk, and depression. * Traffic Light System: Results are displayed via a color-coded system (green, yellow, red), guiding next steps for participants, such as seeking medical consultation or accessing support services. * Pharmacy Staff Training: Staff receive training to communicate effectively with cognitively impaired individuals and manage the digital tools. * Demographic Data Collection: Information such as age, education, and marital status is gathered to understand participant profiles and tailor interventions.

Objectives:

1. Establish pharmacies as accessible hubs for dementia screening and support. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of the screening process and its impact on participants' healthcare behavior. 3. Validate digital screening tools in non-clinical environments and explore their sensitivity and specificity.

Optional Subproject: A subset of participants undergoes additional clinical validation at the Alzheimer Therapy and Research Center, including neurological exams, imaging, and biomarker analysis.

The study emphasizes privacy through double pseudonymization, secure data handling, and adherence to ethical standards. It seeks to demonstrate the socioeconomic value of pharmacy-based dementia screening and create a framework for broader implementation.
