Understanding Authoritative Decisions Around Selection and Validation of Cognitive Performance Measures – with a Focus on Nutrition-Related Research

Insight Into Decision-Making

Understanding How Experts Select Cognitive Assessment Tools

The objective of this project is to document the outcomes of an expert roundtable with the goal to understand decisions and approaches that underlie cognitive assessment tool selection by authoritative groups. This effort aims to enable the advancement of evidence evaluation and evidence development to support future dietary guidance, and to document learnings and how they can be used to support future DGAC evidence reviews related to diet/nutrition and cognitive health.
