PRE-SUMMIT PAPER: Caregiving and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Dementia: Report of the Pre-Summit Workgroup on Caregiving and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from a pre-summit activity for the National Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and Their Caregivers. The report was developed by a working group of experts in caregiving, dementia, and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and organized by the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG) in partnership with the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center in Developmental Disabilities and Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Alzheimer's Association. The purpose was threefold: (1) to assess the current state of research, policy, and practice, and develop recommendations related to caregiving supports for older adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities; (2) to translate the contributions of these findings to the greater dementia care agenda; and (3) to promote inclusion of issues particularly relevant to intellectual disability and dementia concerns as part of the Summit platform. The Report examined the foundational similarities and differences in focal areas affecting people with dementia, both with and absent IDD. Considered were five major areas related to care and caregiving: (1) family caregiving interventions; (2) supportive care settings; (3) effects of diversity; (4) screening and early detection; and (5) bridging service networks. Recommendations are offered in each of these areas, including how funding and actions might be undertaken and by which federal or non-federal organizations. [PDF Version]

PRE-SUMMIT PAPER: Dementia Caregiving in the U.S.: Research Recommendations
The following recommendations draw from findings in the Dementia Caregiving in the U.S. (February 2017) report which analyzes the experiences of providing unpaid care in the United States to a relative or friend diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other mental confusion, with the goals of both understanding the experiences of people caring for someone with dementia and identifying approaches to enhance and support this unique caregiving experience. [PDF Version]
PRE-SUMMIT PAPER: Dementia Family Caregiving: Recommendations from the University of California Davis Conference, Alzheimer's Disease Diversity and Disparities in Family Caregiving: Progress and Future Challenges
The goal of this one-day conference was: (1) to present and discuss the current caregiving climate for individuals caring for family members with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and how to foster resilience, particularly in diverse populations; (2) to present cutting-edge research, evidence based interventions, and novel cultural adaptations for diverse caregivers and their families; and (3) to articulate future directions in the field of disparities in caregiving. This Pre-Summit activity was an opportunity to hear scientific presentations from leading experts in the field of dementia caregiving in diverse communities as well as to have scholars, funding agencies, and associations network with one another. The conference also included a poster session featuring work on theory, research, practice, and training/education issues in dementia caregiving, particularly as it related to diversity and disparities.

PRE-SUMMIT PAPER: Innovating the Next Generation of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Care Interventions: Addressing the Needs of Persons Living with Dementia, Caregivers, and Care Providers
The Division of Behavioral and Social Research (BSR) at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), convened a meeting on July 31 and August 1, 2017, to obtain expert opinion on the state of research for evidence-based care interventions that target persons living with dementia and/or their caregivers, and to articulate a future research agenda. Presenters and discussants were asked to classify the various formal and informal care interventions in terms of the populations, outcomes targeted, and the settings in which they have been studied (e.g., at home, assisted living, nursing homes, physician's offices, community settings), and to present examples of specific interventions. Another meeting objective was to identify the barriers to adoption of evidence-based interventions and strategies to overcome such barriers. Invited experts presented a range of original research, including interventions in mouthcare, caregiver sleep health, dementia care mapping, emotional functioning, and mindfulness, and findings from systematic reviews to illuminate gaps, promising directions, and future needs for the next generation of Alzheimer's and dementia care interventions. They also described intervention development research models, innovative research designs, and methods for addressing scalability, diffusion, and translation. [PDF Version]

BACKGROUND PAPER: Including People with Dementia and Their Caregivers as Co-Researchers in Studies of Dementia Care and Services
This paper addresses several key challenges that researchers face in working with people with dementia and their caregivers as co-researchers in studies of dementia care and services, including setting the level of involvement that people with dementia and their caregivers will have in the research, determining how to identify and recruit people with dementia and their caregivers to serve as co-researchers, and establishing how to effectively engage people with dementia and their caregivers as co-researchers. [HTML Version] [PDF Version]
PRE-SUMMIT PAPER: Dementia Methods Pre-Summit Summary and Recommendations
The goal of the Dementia Methods Pre-Summit was to efficiently drive the field toward a methods research agenda, by focusing stakeholder attention on strengths and limitations of methods currently used in dementia intervention research. Pre-Summit participants were encouraged to think of this goal as a "roadmap" for specific action steps. The participants represented experts of many different types: researchers whose careers are devoted to the study of interventions and/or to the study of research methods; people experiencing dementia themselves and those experiencing it through a loved one; and federal health policy makers; health and aging policy advocacy organizations; and research funders. The opportunity that this meeting provided for joint conversation and collaborative agenda setting is unique. A key focus of this meeting was on patient engagement in research, consistent with the patient-centered comparative effectiveness research that PCORI funds. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from this meeting. [PDF Version]

BACKGROUND PAPER: Challenges in Involving People with Dementia as Study Participants in Research on Care and Services
This background paper addresses key issues related to involving people with dementia as participants in research on care and services, including recruiting, research ethics, the processes of informed consent and assent/dissent to participate in research, and evaluating the capacity of people with dementia to participate in studies. Until the 1990s, research largely ignored the perspectives of people with dementia. This omission from the research was supported by commonly held views of people with dementia as incompetent and incapable of providing reliable reports, and a biomedical focus on neuropathology with limited attention to personal histories, social interactions, and social contexts. However, these views fail to account for the abilities and diversity of people with dementia. [HTML Version] [PDF Version]

STAKEHOLDER GROUP PAPER: Research Recommendations: Top 6 Outcomes that Matter
The Stakeholder Group of Persons Living with Dementia includes 12 retired professionals from diverse backgrounds who are each committed to advocacy about dementia care, services and research. All members experience mild or moderate symptoms of a cognitive disorder. The group is co-chaired by two persons living with dementia and the leadership also includes a geriatric psychiatrist and a project coordinator experienced in leading groups of people in the early stages of a cognitive disorder. To prepare these research recommendations, monthly 90-minute meetings were conduced by videoconference, and each meeting included one or more guest senior research leaders. Between monthly meetings, a subgroup met to address logistical concerns regarding the preparation of research recommendations, responses to requests for input about specific research questions, plans for travel to participate in the Summit, and preparations to support persons living with dementia who attend the Summit. Time limitations and the personal experiences of the Group members resulted in an emphasis on research recommendations addressing early stages of illness. The Group produced recommendations categorized into the general areas of research on: new care practices to improve dementia treatment; access to care and services; strategies to promote participation in clinical trials; the experience of living with a cognitive disorder; best practices for working with family members, caregivers and proxy decision-makers; and, use of new terminology and language for public education. After a voting process, the Group decided on the following "Top 6 Outcomes that Matter." [PDF Version]
