About This Event
Identification of Agitation in Patients with Dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease: Perspectives from the Primary Care Provider
Join us for a discussion with Dr. C. Brendan Montano, as he shares his perspective from the primary care setting on identifying and responding to agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. The discussion will explore the prevalence and burden of agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia, recognition of agitation symptoms, as well as the use of the AASC™, a brief screening tool based on the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) consensus definition for agitation in cognitive disorders. This tool is designed to assist caregivers in recognizing AAD and starting the conversation with their medical provider.
