Are you a clinician who provides diagnostic and post-diagnostic support for people with pre-clinical symptoms of cognitive decline or dementia? Have you considered dementia risk assessment and risk reduction as part of these services? Researchers at UNSW/NeuRA are conducting a research study aimed at exploring the value of implementing a validated, online dementia risk assessment tool (CogDrisk) in memory clinic settings. Through this project, we aim to understand the preferences and perspectives of clinicians regarding using a dementia risk assessment tool, and clinical experiences of practicing preventive health in memory clinics. People who choose to participate will be invited to take part in an online structured interview or focus group to gather relevant information. The interviews and focus groups will be conducted by a clinician-researcher and will be audio recorded to assist with accurate data transcribing and analysis.

The research study is looking to recruit people who meet the following criteria:

• Fully registered and currently practicing health professional.
• Currently delivering memory clinic or specialist medical services (diagnostic, assessment, care coordination) for adults aged 40+ years referred due to memory or cognitive concerns.
• Field of practice includes geriatrics, neurology, psychiatry, nursing, psychology, other allied health.
• Based in Australia
• Have access to the internet.
• Proficient in English
• Willing to participate in an audio-recorded online interview or focus group

Participants will be asked to complete one of the following research activities if they agree to participate:

• 1hr online interview
• 1hr focus group
