Background: Availability of amyloid modifying therapies will dramatically increase the need for disclosure of Alzheimer's disease (AD) related genetic and/or biomarker test results. The 21st Century Cares Act requires the immediate return of most medical test results, including AD biomarkers. A shortage of genetic counselors and dementia specialists already exists, thus driving the need for scalable methods to responsibly communicate test results.

Background: Behaviour support plans (BSPs) for people in residential aged care (RAC) were mandated nationally in 2019 for those who require, or may require, restrictive practices as part of their care. The legislation aims to reduce and potentially eliminate restrictive practices: long-standing problems of their inappropriate use were highlighted by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (2018). Many people living with dementia will be impacted: up to 90% experience changed behaviours; 54% of people in RACs have dementia; and approximately 20% experience cognitive decline without a diagnosis.

Background: Physical exercise is crucial in type 2 diabetes management (T2D), and training in the aquatic environment seems to be a promising alternative due to its physical properties and metabolic, functional, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular benefits. Research on combined training in aquatic and dry-land training environments is scarce, especially in long-term interventions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of combined training in both environments on health outcomes related to the management of T2D patients.
