Did you know over half a million Canadians live with Alzheimer’s and dementia-related diseases? By 2030, that number is expected to double to nearly one million unless we take action now.
What is NB-PALM?
NB-PALM is a bilingual, multi-institutional, collaborative research project supported by New Brunswick’s Healthy Seniors Pilot Projects, funded by the Government of New Brunswick and the Public Health Agency of Canada. Members of the NB-PALM team come from the University of New Brunswick, Horizon Health Network, Vitalité Health Network, Université de Moncton, and Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick.
Our research has three (3) objectives focused on answering important questions for delivering brain health programs:
Engagement - What do older adults in New Brunswick think about brain health and lifestyle changes to prevent dementia?
Feasibility and Impact - Is it feasible to deliver brain health programs to older adults in New Brunswick, what do they think about these programs, and is there evidence they work?
Evaluation - How can the impact of delivering brain health programs to older adults in New Brunswick be evaluated at the community level?
We invite you to learn more about our studies, team, and brain health and dementia prevention resources.
