The purpose of the Alzheimer’s Disease Early Detection & Awareness Campaign is to increase public awareness about brain health, the early warning signs and symptoms of cognitive decline and Dementia, and the importance of talking to a professional about being screened and assessed for ADRD. This grant program aims to support strategies from the 2023-2026 Alzheimer’s Disease State Plan, including a short-term recommendation to identify and promote culturally appropriate strategies designed to increase public awareness about ADRD, to reduce conflicting messages, to decrease stigma, and to promote early diagnosis. Many of the activities in this program will also align with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Healthy Brain Initiative.
