“…The brief form of the California Verbal Learning Test, Third Edition (CVLT-3-BF)14 was provided to several sites due to its ease of acquirement, length of administrations and inexpensive cost. Other measures without normative data comparisons required the CTF to provide electronic z-score calculators to the sites which took raw scores on the chosen prescreening memory measure (ie, the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test15 or Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test)16–18 and gave z-scores for comparison to the MissionAD inclusion criteria for episodic memory impairment (at least 1 SD poorer performance from age-adjusted norms in total or delayed recall on the ISLT).…”

Purpose: A Cognitive Task Force (CTF) was established for the MissionAD program with the aim of reducing the screen failure (SF) rate to ∼30% and thereby reduce unnecessary subject burden, site burden, and excess trial costs. Methods/Subjects: The MissionAD program consisted of 2 global phase 3 studies evaluating the BACE inhibitor elenbecestat in subjects with early Alzheimer disease. The CTF monitored and engaged with MissionAD clinical sites to provide support through collegial discussions to maximize the efficiency of the preconsent recruitment phase. Results: The CTF significantly improved cognitive screening efficiency in the MissionAD program, with a 24% decline in cognitive SF rate for the sites that the CTF contacted. The study-wide 11.5% reduction in cognitive SF rates were likely further driven by wider country-level initiatives in which CTF members held CTF-specific Investigator meetings with the recruitment staff, speaking to all sites on a country level regardless of their recruitment performance. Conclusions: The establishment of a CTF to support efficient cognitive screening is highly recommended for future Alzheimer disease studies. Additional benefits included improved site relationships, increased engagement in MissionAD and access to a group of cognitive experts for consulting, with a focus on achieving more efficient trial recruitment.

“…If I am the only speaker of Quechua in a community, the value of my Quechua language skills decreases as my chance of achieving valuable well-being or agency goals through my use of Quechua somewhat depends on communicating with others. Therefore, Charles Taylor (1995) calls language ‘irreducibly social’: a good or practice that cannot be reduced to the individual, as it only bears value against a social setting of practices, understandings and meanings, which give it value (Deneulin, 2008: 109). Whether the language I use, or prefer to use, has value for my achievement of capabilities depends almost always on the existence of a social ethos that enables and promotes it.…”

“…Considering the value of affiliation, and the role played by language in enabling it, requires going beyond a purely individualist framework, evaluating how social interdependencies frame what we need to maintain our human dignity and status (Ibrahim, 2006; Stewart, 2005). As a vehicle for affiliation and connection, language could be construed as an ‘irreducibly social good’, as Taylor (1995: Ch. 7) frames it.…”

Language conditions our socio-political world in fundamental ways. How public institutions deal with linguistic diversity, and how they distribute linguistic benefits, has an important impact on an individuals’ life. This article studies the value of language in multilingual environments by evaluating the debate on linguistic justice through the capabilities approach. It studies the value of language to assess what principles of justice are required to secure individual freedom. First, we explore the value of language within the framework proposed by the capabilities approach. Second, we assess the role of language in enabling the development of certain capabilities. As a first attempt to comprehensively address the relationship between linguistic justice and the capabilities approach, it evaluates how linguistic justice theories fare in fostering four capabilities from Martha Nussbaum’s list. We provide a conceptually sound normative assessment of the role played by language within the capabilities framework, and how it translates into policy.
