Better Living With Dementia: Implications for Individuals, Families, Communities, and Societies highlights evidence-based best practices for improving the lives of patients with dementia. It presents the local and global challenges of these patients, also coupling foundational knowledge with specific strategies to overcome these challenges. The book examines the trajectory of the disease, offers stage-appropriate practices and strategies to improve quality of life, provides theoretical and practical frameworks that inform on ways to support and care for individuals living with dementia, includes evidence-based recommendations for research, and details global examples of care approaches that work.

Weaves research evidence and theories with practical know-how Identifies support strategies for home, community, and health care settings Provides stage-appropriate strategies relative to dementia severity Summarizes dementia pathology, diagnosis, and progression Considers the changing needs of both the individual with dementia and family and formal caregivers Offers evidence-informed recommendations for research, practice, policy, and how to make things better at home, in the community, in healthcare and service settings, and through national policies Provides local and global exemplars of what works Provides case vignettes to illustrate key points with real examples Contains brief conversations with national and international experts

Handbook of Intervention Science: From Design to Implementation discusses multiple approaches for developing and advancing interventions at the individual, family, community, health system, and policy level. The book focuses on creating interventions suitable for diverse populations from racial, ethnical, geographical, and socioeconomical perspectives. Combining best practices with a practical approach, the book enables readers to advance their intervention research. It covers intervention design, data capture in trials, and evaluation. Decision trees help illustrate when to move forward with an implementation relative to the need for further work.

Identifies how to develop and advance interventions from design to evaluation, dissemination, and scalingFocuses on interventions applicable across diverse populations for individual, family, community, and system wide interventionsProvides decision trees for determining when to advance an intervention or adapt an existing oneIncorporates technology in data capture, randomized delivery, pragmatic trials, and intervention evaluationIncludes case study exemplars that illustrate key concepts for better understandingContains bulleted key points for understanding and retention of main points
