Faculty of Health, University of Canberra, Bruce, ACT, Australia.
Background: There is a need to understand the benefits and limitations of innovative models of dementia care to ensure models meet the needs of people living with dementia, their families and staff. The aim of this scoping review was to explore and synthesise the barriers and facilitators to the widespread implementation of small-scale residential dementia care.
Method: A scoping review was conducted in 2023 in MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL to identify empirical, peer-reviewed studies, published in English from database inception to October 2023.

Background: Resource-constrained rural areas face significant challenges in providing access to healthcare resources, especially for older adults, including those living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). We seek to address these gaps by equipping six rural community sites in New Hampshire and Maine with tele-rehabilitative equipment. Libraries and community centers that serves youth and older adults, vital in rural communities, are identified as key partners to advance digital health literacy, equity, and telemedicine services for older adults including those living with ADRD, with the University of [blind for review] Center for Digital Health Innovation (CDHI).

Background: The recruitment of individuals for Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetic studies particularly those with low socioeconomic status, and living in rural areas remains a challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), due to stigma-related cultural beliefs that hinder their participation. The Recruitment and Retention of Alzheimer's Disease Diversity Genetic Cohorts in the ADSP (READD - ADSP) project is a case-control genetic epidemiological study involving individuals who are living with AD and disease - free healthy control individuals. The aim is to build a resource that greatly expands Alzheimer's disease genetic studies in the currently underrepresented African ancestry populations and Hispanic/Latinx individuals.

National Ageing Research Institute, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: The Promoting Independence Through quality Care at Home (PITCH) project aimed to improve outcomes for people with dementia and their carers via a co-designed training intervention for home care workers (HCWs). The results of the primary efficacy analysis of the successful stepped-wedge cluster RCT (n = 172 HCWs in 18 clusters in 7 Australian service providers) were presented at AAIC 2023.
Method: This presentation goes beyond efficacy and discusses the implementation science (process evaluation and behavioural change) and health economic analysis of the intervention.
