| Popis: | The Kingston Standardized Cognitive Assessment (KSCA) was designed to be a cognitive screening tool available for the health professionals who were not trained in specialized cognitive assessment techniques. It was introduced to bridge the gap between brief, narrowly focused rating scales and intensive, expensive, full neuropsychological assessments. We now present the mini-KSCA-Revised (mini-KSCAr). This is a shortened version of the full KSCAr that can be given in far less time and allows for a quick follow-up or screening technique retaining a substantial part of the full KSCAr’s effectiveness. It is specifically targeted for use by family physicians who require rapid and accurate in-office dementia screening. |
