The National Institutes on Aging (NIA) has published a database of more than 100 published instruments for detecting Alzheimer’s disease and other types of cognitive impairment. Many instruments are suitable for outpatient practices and community studies. Each instrument was developed as a cognitive assessment for age-related dementia and has had at least three published studies since its debut and at least one publication in the last 10 years. Users can search the database by specific criteria, such as time to administer the instrument, the administrator’s level of expertise, cost, and target diagnosis. They can also find instruments that have been evaluated in specific populations and translated into languages other than English. Each instrument is summarized, with references cited and linked for easy access.
