Recommended best practices for construct-centered adaptation of the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol
The HCAP neuropsychological assessment approach has unique considerations for adaptation that balance the needs of local validity with cross-national harmonization. Shared best practices for HCAP adaptation will improve the quality of cross-national HCAP data collection, data harmonization, analyses, and inferences. The HCAP is a useful model for cross-nationally harmonized data collection and research to improve our understanding of cognitive aging and dementia globally.
