Supporting dementia caregivers: The role of “lived experience” and public health collaboration
Developing effective resources to support dementia caregivers requires collaboration between public health officials and those with lived experience of caregiving. This perspective highlights why this collaboration is so crucial to elevating public health practice and describes the unique efforts of the BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving to foster this collaboration through its Lived Experience Advisory Groups (LEAG). The LEAGs convene people living with dementia, family caregivers, and public health officials to guide the development of resources that state, local, and tribal public health departments can use to support dementia caregivers in their communities. Through these interactions, public health strategies become more responsive to the real-life needs of caregivers and people living with dementia. This approach not only enhances caregiver support but also strengthens and aligns public health initiatives with the lived experiences of the populations they serve, fostering health equity and community engagement. This paper highlights key activities, outcomes, and future directions for integrating lived experience and public health perspectives into practice, offering a new and innovative model for other organizations seeking to improve support for dementia caregivers.
Highlights
Public engagement enhances responsiveness and effectiveness of public health programs.
LEAGs allow people with lived experience to help shape programs and facilitate collaboration with public health professionals.
Local and state health agencies can improve engagement by implementing LEAGs.
Increasing diversity of people with lived experience can improve outcomes for communities disproportionately impacted by dementia.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions (TRCI) is a peer-reviewed, open access,journal from the Alzheimer''s Association®. The journal seeks to bridge the full scope of explorations between basic research on drug discovery and clinical studies, validating putative therapies for aging-related chronic brain conditions that affect cognition, motor functions, and other behavioral or clinical symptoms associated with all forms dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish findings from diverse domains of research and disciplines to accelerate the conversion of abstract facts into practical knowledge: specifically, to translate what is learned at the bench into bedside applications. The journal seeks to publish articles that go beyond a singular emphasis on either basic drug discovery research or clinical research. Rather, an important theme of articles will be the linkages between and among the various discrete steps in the complex continuum of therapy development. For rapid communication among a multidisciplinary research audience involving the range of therapeutic interventions, TRCI will consider only original contributions that include feature length research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, narrative reviews, commentaries, letters, perspectives, and research news that would advance wide range of interventions to ameliorate symptoms or alter the progression of chronic neurocognitive disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish on topics related to medicine, geriatrics, neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, bioinformatics, pharmaco-genetics, regulatory issues, health economics, pharmacoeconomics, and public health policy as these apply to preclinical and clinical research on therapeutics.
