LASI-DAD Webinar Series - LASI-DAD informant report and dementia caregiving in India

Thursday, July 10 at 08:00 AM PDT, 8:30 PM IST

The LASI-DAD study team, in partnership with the Gateway to Global Aging, is excited to announce the LASI-DAD Webinar Series, continuing July 10th at 8am PT (8:30pm IST) with an in-depth description of the LASI-DAD informant questionnaire and a presentation of findings on dementia caregiving in India. The Harmonized Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia for the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI-DAD) is an in-depth study of late-life cognition and dementia, drawing on a subsample of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI). LASI is a nationally representative survey of the health, economic status, and social well-being of the Indian population aged 45 and older. Its large sample of 72,000+ adults represents not only the country but also every state. To study late-life cognition and dementia in LASI-DAD, we recruited a sub-sample of 4,000+ LASI respondents aged 60 and older from 18 states and union territories across the country in Wave 1, expanding to 22 states in Wave 2.
