Published

Varshini Varadaraj, MD, MPH, Year 2 Pilot Principal Investigator and 2021 HEADS Virtual Workshop for Early-Stage Investigators participant, will be presenting a poster on her pilot project at this year’s NHATS/NSOC Dementia Caregiving Conference on May 2-3, 2022. The poster will highlight findings from the pilot project “Dementia and Vision impairment: Economic outcomes for patients and caregivers” and examines economic outcomes for older adults with dementia and vision impairment and their caregivers. The findings highlight disparities in financial wellbeing for older adults with vision and cognitive disabilities, and their caregivers, and suggest a need for better integration of financial support programs into their overall care.
