The Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) is a detailed battery assessing cognition among older people used by studies across the world. Data harmonization is a key priority for HCAP studies. We used a mixed-methods approach using established theories from the existing literature detailing the methodologies of longitudinal studies and from the implementation of HCAP in four English-speaking studies adopting the same protocol.

Rapid antigen diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) that quickly and accurately identify SARS-CoV-2 are an essential part of the COVID-19 response, but multiple factors can affect the validity of Ag-RDTs results. In Cambodia, several commercial Ag-RDTs have become available since the COVID-19 outbreak, but quality control (QC) and external quality assurance (EQA) of these rapid tests have yet to be fully and systematically implemented. We collaborated with laboratory experts in Australia and piloted an EQA programme of the commonly used COVID-19 Ag-RDTs at the University of Health Sciences' MERIEUX Laboratory (Tier 1 site-responsible for the in-country receipt and distribution of QA material) and four other participating laboratories (Tier 2-healthcare facility based) between November 2021 and November 2022.
