Mini-Cog Screening Pilots

DESCRIPTION

The Mini-Cog© is a quick screening tool for early dementia detection that can be completed in just three minutes. The tool can be used in nearly any health care setting to determine if further evaluation is needed, which makes it an effective and easy-to-use tool for early detection.

Visit the Mini-Cog© website Exit Disclaimer: You Are Leaving www.ihs.gov for more information on the Mini-Cog screening tool.

Watch our Mini-Cog training videos to see the tool in action.

To learn how the Mini-Cog can be used by health care providers in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, the Alzheimer’s Program is conducting two pilot programs.
