The Healthy Brain Initiative: Technical Assistance to Implement Public Health Actions related to Cognitive Health, Cognitive Impairment, and Caregiving at the State and Local Levels

 

The purpose of the listing is to implement public health actions through engagement of national partners and public health networks at national, state and local levels to apply public health strategies to promote cognitive health; address cognitive impairment, including Alzheimers disease; and support the needs of care partners (paid and unpaid persons providing care or assistance to someone with Alzheimers disease or related dementia). This will be accomplished through the provision of technical assistance and support in the following areas: 1) Using data and information to develop, examine, and deploy effective strategies, identify and address gaps in implementation, create and assess technical assistance tools, and monitor progress in achieving program goals; 2) Engaging in environmental approaches that promote inclusion of cognitive health, cognitive impairment and caregiving into community and workplace policies and plans; 3) Supporting health system strategies to improve early detection of cognitive impairment, including Alzheimers disease, and increasing awareness among health care providers about care partner health and role in care management; and 4) Facilitating the translation and dissemination of information and resources through public health networks.
