We are very fortunate that Terry leads this work as PI of UsAgainstAlzheimer's A-LIST What Matters Most Insights study. Thank you to Cohen Veterans Bioscience 🧠 for highlighting this work that shines a glaring light on the terrible impact of #Covid on our community.

UsA2's A-LIST survey found 2/3rds of #caregivers have observed cognitive decline in loved ones since the pandemic started. Thank you Minding Our Elders for helping to answer, "What can we do?" to reunite families struggling with isolation. bit.ly/3iQopp7

We are honored to be part of this team with Dr. Griffin, and researchers from UMass Boston, USU CEHS & UMN School of Public Health, as well as our UsAgainstAlzheimer's colleagues Jason Resendez & Stephanie J. Monroe

#COVID19 continues to disproportionately impact the #Alzheimers community & long-term care residents are dying at alarming rates. Our latest survey found a surprising number of members of the Alzheimer’s community willing to get a vaccine. The latest: bit.ly/3jbKwq9

60% of the #Alzheimers community is willing to get a #COVID19 vaccine when one becomes available, nearly double the percentage of the general population polled in a recent national survey. Being Patient alexandra m. 🦤 bit.ly/2SAq6vd

In our latest survey, A-LIST members told us how they imagine life changing with a #COVID19 vaccine. Answers are a mix of skeptical, optimistic & hopeful for a return to normalcy.

The holidays will be different this year, and if you are a #caregiver to a loved one with #Alzheimers, chances are you will feel this more acutely than others. UsA2 reminds our #caregivers that you are not alone. You have Us. #FamilyCaregiversMonth. bit.ly/2UJQMdW
