Feasibility and Determinants of Performance for a Tablet‐based Cognitive Assessment Tool in Rural and Urban Southeast Nigeria
Tablet-based cognitive assessment was feasible in rural and urban settings of Nigeria. Better performance on cognitive subtests linked to more education and residing in a rural area; however, sex did not predict performance. Digital cognitive assessment tools hold the potential for widespread use in healthcare and educational contexts, particularly in regions with varying levels of urbanization and educational access for early detection of cognitive impairments at the PHC levels.
