McGill University was commissioned by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) to deliver both the 2021 and 2022 editions of the World Alzheimer Report on the crucial and inter-related topics of diagnosis and post-diagnostic support.

The World Alzheimer Report 2021, Journey through the diagnosis of dementia, was delivered by the McGill co-editors in September 2021 and is available to view at your convenience.

The World Alzheimer Report 2022, Life after diagnosis: Navigating treatment, care and support will launch on September 21, 2022, with a panel discussion to highlight the report’s key findings and recommendations.

• Medical, emotional and practical considerations during the varying stages of dementia, including for different forms of dementia;
• Current and future pharmacological, cognitive and multidomain interventions in dementia;
• The impact of culture and society on post-diagnosis support for people living with dementia, introducing models of care from across the world;
