CST research projects

A controlled trial of CST in dementia started in September 2014 Lalupon, Nigeria and another round is scheduled to take place by September 2018. Pilot studies have been completed in both sites using an adapted version of the CST manual. This work is part of the IDEA study- Identification and Interventions for Dementia in Elderly Africans which is a three year programme funded by Grand Challenges Canada.
