Questionnaire data ⏵ Mental health ⏵ AD8 Dementia screening interview

Description

This is an eight-item informant interview to differentiate between ageing and dementia. The AD8 was developed as a brief instrument to help discriminate between signs of normal aging and mild dementia. The AD8 contains 8 items that test for memory, orientation, judgment, and function. Cut points are: normal cognition 0-1; impairment in cognition 2 or greater. The AD8 assesses intra-individual change across a variety of cognitive domains compared to previous levels of function and is sensitive to early signs of dementia regardless of etiology.
