Project Description
Responding to Cognitive Concerns “ReCog” interventions are a suite of 4-session cognitive rehabilitation programs that were designed at Griffith University to assist people who experience problems with thinking and memory when they have had cancer. The interventions have been tested in 5 published clinical trials up to 2023, with further trials in submission for publication or underway. The manuals for ReCog are available to clinicians and researchers at no cost, by filling in a form at this link: https://cablabhealthresearch.org/contact/
Project Personnel and Beneficiaries
This activity benefits:
– people who experience cognitive problems after a cancer diagnosis
– researchers and health professionals who assist people who experience cognitive problems after a cancer diagnosis
– early career researchers and early career health professionals who are trained via this project
Outcomes to Date
To date, the intervention manuals have been disseminated to 22 clinical and/or research teams in 8 countries across 4 continents, and have been used to treat patients in at least 3 Australian states, Canada, and Germany.
Project Significance
This project addresses SDG3 Good Health and Wellbeing, particularly Target 3.8 “Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all”. In this project, benefits of research to develop an evidence-based intervention are made available at no cost to other researchers and health practitioners, assisting to make evidence-based treatment available at the lowest cost possible
