Blood test guide for Alzheimer's in primary care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing a tool that helps doctors decide when to order a blood test for Alzheimer's disease. It has two parts: one for doctors and one for older adults without memory problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- For the first part of the study, you must be a primary care provider (like a family doctor) who cares for patients with memory concerns.
- For the second part, you must be 50 years or older and live independently in the community.
- You should not already have a diagnosis of memory or thinking problems (like dementia).
- You need to be fluent in English.
- You should not need a medical decision-maker; you make your own health decisions.

This study is looking for a simple blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately in a primary care setting. If you are 55 or older with memory concerns, participating could help improve diagnostic methods and may lead to earlier support and treatment.
This study is testing whether a simple blood draw can help spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to include people from diverse backgrounds who do not currently have memory problems, which may help make early detection more accessible for everyone.
This trial checks whether a simple blood test can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s in people who seem to have memory problems. If you’re being evaluated for possible dementia, your doctor may refer you to a memory clinic for testing and follow-up.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and predict how the disease will progress. If you have memory or thinking problems that have been getting worse, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a new blood test for Alzheimer's-related proteins (p-tau217) can help doctors diagnose memory problems earlier and more accurately. It is for people who have recently noticed cognitive issues but haven't yet been diagnosed or treated.
