On 7, 14 and 15 March, the members of the newly set up ADIS Young Adults Advisory Board (ADIS YA-AB) gathered online. These three sessions were also attended by Jesús Rodrigo (Confederación Española de Alzheimer, CEAFA) and David Bartrés-Faz (Universidad de Barcelona), and facilitated by Soraya Moradi-Bachiller (Public Involvement Officer at Alzheimer Europe, AE).
During the consultations, members of the ADIS YA-AB were asked what their views and opinions are about dementia prevention, dementia risk reduction, healthy lifestyle and brain health, and other different terms and expressions that could be used in a brain health campaign for people their age. There were also discussions about the barriers young people face when adopting healthy habits and what motivates (or would motivate) them to have a healthy lifestyle.
All the members participated actively and provided insightful feedback during this consultation, which is part of a series of meetings that will help shape a brain health campaign for young adults.
