The mini-KSCA-Revised (mini-KSCAr) offers a rapid, effective dementia screening tool for family physicians. This shortened assessment maintains the core effectiveness of the full Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment (KSCA).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Gerontology
  • Primary Care Medicine

Background:

  • Cognitive screening tools are essential for early dementia detection.
  • Existing assessments range from brief scales to intensive neuropsychological evaluations.
  • A need exists for a rapid, effective in-office screening tool for primary care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the mini-KSCA-Revised (mini-KSCAr), a shortened version of the Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment (KSCA).
  • To provide family physicians with a rapid and accurate dementia screening technique.
  • To bridge the gap between brief rating scales and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a shortened version of the full KSCAr.
  • Focus on retaining the effectiveness of the original assessment.
