Marco Canevelli, Sapienza University of Rome, Italian National Institute of Health and Karolinska Institutet
The ImmiDem Project's goal is to understand dementia in migrants in Italy from both clinical and public health perspectives. So far, ImmiDem has aimed to estimate the number of migrants seeking specialist services for diagnosing and treating cognitive disorders, identify barriers to access to care, and document potential under-diagnosis of dementia in the migrant population. The future initiatives of the project are crucial for implementing new models of diveristy sensitive care, benefiting all people with dementia in our country.
