Development and validation of a new measure <i>Characterising Language Experience and Acculturation (CLEAr‐Q)</i> to inform the cognitive assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse older adults
Results will contribute to validating the CLEAr-Q and demonstrating its utility to characterise known diversity in CALD samples. Future directions include examining the relative importance of linguistic and acculturation variables from the CLEAr-Q in predicting cognitive performance, which is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy of current neuropsychological measures for assessment of cognitive impairment and dementia in older adults from CALD backgrounds.
