Dementia in Migrants Living in Italy: Promoting a Diversity-sensitive Clinical Approach and Provision of Care

Based on the gaps and barriers identified by the ImmiDem study (GR-2016-02364975), the present project aims to: i) Describe the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of migrants with cognitive disorders living in Italy, their health outcomes, and their access to healthcare resources; ii) develop and disseminate screening and assessment tools allowing the cross-cultural cognitive examination of individuals with a migration background; iii) raise awareness about dementia among culturally diverse people and train healthcare professionals in how to provide culturally competent care and support for migrants with cognitive disorders.
