Introduction: Detecting cognitive impairment in diverse, health disparities communities is an urgent health care priority. Methods: The 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. Results: Cognigram was piloted in the Emergency Department, Family Medicine, and Geriatric Psychiatry clinics: 58 adults (23 men, 35 women), 67.9 6 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).Discussion: The 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
