Opportunity Purpose
The goal of this study is to determine the role of various risk factors in the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia. Caregivers’ and patients’ lived experiences and concerns will help to guide the research questions and study priorities, and will provide an invaluable perspective when it comes to interpreting the results of the study and how best to share the findings with the patient community.

What’s Involved
This opportunity will involve online meetings or phone calls with the graduate student responsible for conducting the study. Partners will be invited to share their experiences to help shape the research questions and analyses, and to assist in interpretation of the results. Partners will also be involved in advising on the creation of knowledge translation tools.

It has been so rewarding to go from an idea to working with such a great group of dedicated people from so many different organizations towards a very fun and rewarding project. Several extremely engaged PVN members expressed interest in being part of piloting a patient virtual care peer support system. I am confident that this is the beginning of many more exciting collaborations!
