Adaptation and Validation of Brief Tablet‐Based Cognitive Assessment Tool in Uganda
TabCAT tests demonstrate content, concurrent, and criterion validity for identifying CI in a SSA population and in PLWH. Despite variability in concurrent validity on some tests, TabCAT is a promising brief assessment tool to identify CI with generalizability across diverse cultures, languages, education levels, and HIV serostatus. Future studies will examine TabCAT validity for assessing and diagnosing AD and related dementias in Uganda and other resource-limited settings.
