Neurocognitive screeners are used to detect symptoms of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND). However, the degree to which education and socioeconomic status affect these screeners remains unclear. Neurocognitive screeners were administered to 187 socioeconomically disadvantaged HIV+ individuals upon entering treatment who had no other risk factors for HAND. The false positive rates were: 84% for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, 59% for the International HIV Dementia Scale, and 28.3% for the Modified HIV Dementia Scale. Given these high false positive rates, the screeners may be more useful for establishing baseline functioning and sequential testing to detect deterioration.

Three-year-old development: The relationship of child health and parenting stress to neurocognition.
J Pediatr Nurs
January 2025
Department of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, College of Nursing, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, 847 Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38163, USA.
Purpose: This study examined parenting stress and child special healthcare needs to child neurocognitive development (NCD).
Design And Methods: This secondary analysis used data from the primary study, a longitudinal cohort study of mother-child dyads. Multivariable regression models examined the associations between parenting stress and child special healthcare needs with NCD.
Health literacy is associated with cognition and everyday functioning in a consecutive clinical series of people with epilepsy in a surgical setting.
Epilepsy Behav
October 2024
Department of Psychology, University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA. Electronic address:
Objective: Low health literacy is common among people with epilepsy (PWE) and may play an important role in disease management and outcomes. The current study evaluated whether health literacy is related to cognition, health, and everyday functioning in PWE.
Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational study included 25 demographically comparable healthy adults retrospectively matched to a consecutive series of 89 PWE presenting for neuropsychological evaluation in a surgical setting and who completed the Newest Vital Sign and Brief Health Literacy Screener.
Greater baseline intra-individual variation in telephone-based cognitive screening predicts cognitive and diagnostic outcomes at 2-year follow-up.
Neuropsychology
September 2024
Department of Psychology, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Alabama.
Objective: Intra-Individual Cognitive Variability (IICV) is an emerging clinical tool that has shown promise in predicting cognitive decline and dementia incidence. The present study aims to assess the predictive validity of IICV in remote cognitive screening tests, using nationally representative data.
Method: Two waves of cognitive and diagnostic data from the Health and Retirement Study (collected in 2010 and 2012) were utilized to investigate whether baseline IICV can predict cognitive decline and dementia pathology.
Neurocognitive and psychiatric outcomes associated with postacute COVID-19 infection without severe medical complication: a meta-analysis.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
November 2024
Department of Psychology, University of South Alabama, Mobile, Alabama, USA.
Background: Cognitive symptoms are often reported by those with a history of COVID-19 infection. No comprehensive meta-analysis of neurocognitive outcomes related to COVID-19 exists despite the influx of studies after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study meta-analysed observational research comparing cross-sectional neurocognitive outcomes in adults with COVID-19 (without severe medical/psychiatric comorbidity) to healthy controls (HCs) or norm-referenced data.

JMIR Res Protoc
March 2024
See Acknowledgments
Background: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) initiative offers health care providers tools and resources to assist with fall risk screening and multifactorial fall risk assessment and interventions. Its effectiveness has never been evaluated in a randomized trial.
Objective: This study aims to describe the protocol for the STEADI Options Randomized Quality Improvement Trial (RQIT), which was designed to evaluate the impact on falls and all-cause health expenditures of a telemedicine-based form of STEADI implemented among older adults aged 65 years and older, within a primary care setting.
