New webpage dedicated to EPAD data and samples on the EPAD website
On 9 and 10 January, members of the work packages for the EPAD (European Prevention of Alzheimer’s Dementia) and AMYPAD (AMYloid imaging to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease) projects met in Cambridge, UK to discuss ongoing work to provide ethics guidance for the two projects.
Richard Milne presented the preliminary findings from a related study, which explored attitudes towards the communication of various kinds of risk status linked to Alzheimer’s dementia.
Members of the group discussed plans for work related to the two projects and emphasised the need to progress with the setting up of the participant panel to ensure that research participants have the opportunity to contribute towards improving the experience of research participants involved in these studies.
