Validation of Video Administration of a Modified UDSv3 Cognitive Battery in Older Adults with and without Cognitive Impairment: The ‘VCog’ Study
VCog is the first large, randomized, study of cognitively, ethnically and geographically diverse individuals to examine the validity of video-administered UDSv3 cognitive battery relative to in-person administration. Results show strong concordance between UDSv3 tests for individuals with and without cognitive impairment. Oral TMT-A performed poorly due to being structurally different from written TMT-A. Having a UDSv3 battery validated for video administration can help AD researchers reduce participant burden and increase accessibility to underserved populations. Funded by NIH/NIA R01 AG075959.
