The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) is a tool for quantitative autism assessment in children and adolescents. The SRS-A addresses social responsiveness in adulthood. Reliability and validity using the German adaptation of the SRS-A was examined in 20 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), 62 with other mental disorders (CLIN) and 163 typically developing (TD) participants. Cronbach's alpha ranged from .71 (TD) to .89 (ASD). A SRS-A total score of 67 had a sensitivity of .85, and a specificity of .83 for ASD versus CLIN/TD. Correlations with established autism scales (ADOS, AQ, SCQ) were moderate to high (r = .25-.83). Results provide adequate preliminary support for the application of the SRS-A.

Alzheimers Dement

Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Clinical trials should strive to yield results that are clinically meaningful rather than solely relying on statistical significance. However, the determination of clinical meaningfulness of dementia clinical trials lacks standardization and varies based on the trial's nature. To tackle this issue, a proposed approach involves assessing the time saved before reaching a specific threshold in cognitive status.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: Prior research shows that caregiving for people living with dementia (PLWD) varies with cultural, institutional, and social structural context, but less is known about the role of context in dementias of different etiologies. We compared experiences of caregiving in frontal-temporal dementia (FTD) versus non-FTD dementias using community-based comparative ethnography. We expected to find differences in caring for people living with FTD (PLWFTD) versus people living with other dementias (PLWOD).

Background: Long-term care (LTC) home residents may be isolated or lonely. Social connection is important for their physical, mental and cognitive health, quality of life and care. However, measuring social connection in LTC residents is challenging and there are no existing measures with adequately established psychometric properties.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Cape Town, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Background: Care and support for people with dementia and their families in South Africa are largely inadequate. Responses to dementia are driven by a widespread lack of understanding of dementia amongst the general public, communities, and within local health, policy- and social care systems. This presentation will focus on the findings of a situational analysis completed within the STRIDE project (i.
