The CDC's new edition in the Road Map Series (The Healthy Brain Initiative: State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia and Healthy Brain Initiative Road Map for Indian Country) outlines actions that can be used by health departments and others to support caregivers and improve quality of life. Data about caregivers, their characteristics, tasks and challenges is important for planning a public health response. The public health approach, data for action and examples of successful public health interventions will be discussed.
Participants in this webinar will be able to:
- Name three actions from the Road Map pertaining to caregiving
- Understand the type of data available from the CDC on caregiving
- Describe at least two examples of innovative population-based approaches to caregiver support
