Term Description

Washington University researchers developed the two-minute "Ascertain Dementia 8" (AD8) eight-question screen to test for the probablility of a person having a dementia such as Alzheimer's. The AD8 Test relies on a friend or family member who knows the person well, known as an informant, to evaluate whether cognitive changes have caused the individual to have difficulties in performing everyday activities
