Statement of Need

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continues to impose a growing public health burden as prevalence rises alongside an aging population. Despite advancements in diagnostic tools and the emergence of Alzheimer’s-targeted therapies (ATTs), many healthcare professionals (HCPs) face challenges in integrating new evidence into practice and facilitating shared decision-making (SDM). Uncertainties around eligibility, benefit-risk discussions, and patient preferences often hinder timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment initiation. Therefore, effective communication among clinicians, patients, and caregivers is essential to ensure informed, individualized care planning and optimal use of ATTs.

In this installment of a CME Outfitters Snack series on AD, expert faculty discuss how to better engage in communication with patients and other HCPs to facilitate optimized SDM regarding ATTs.
