Abstract
IntroductionDetecting cognitive impairment in diverse, health disparities communities is an urgent health care priority. MethodsThe Brooklyn Cognitive Impairments in Health Disparities Pilot Study investigated quantitative aspects and liking of a computerized cognitive performance assessment, Cognigram, among individuals ≥ 40 years in traditional and nontraditional primary care settings. ResultsCognigram was piloted in the Emergency Department, Family Medicine, and Geriatric Psychiatry clinics: 58 adults (23 men, 35 women), 67.9 ± 9.8 years (range 43–91), completed the Cognigram and 5-item liking survey. The observed liking range was 2 to maximum score 5 (67% scored 4–5; no sex or age differences). DiscussionThe Cognigram was well liked in waiting rooms of primary care settings. Assistance from a trained adult and clinic endorsement were keys to success. How the Cognigram performs in a geographically compact, population-dense global setting, such as Brooklyn with high vascular disease risk and a plethora of health disparities, is being tested.
