RESEARCHERS at Murdoch University have developed a new self-reporting tool which can detect a person's risk for Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.
The McCusker Subjective Cognitive Impairment Inventory is the product of more than a decade of study at Murdoch's Health Futures Institute in Western Australia.

The tool will be available on Open Access, meaning no cost to clinicians and researchers.
