Advocate or Researcher Toolkit

 

As an advocate or researcher, your work is critical to advancing our understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). We deeply appreciate your dedication to improving brain health outcomes and equity across the lifespan.

This toolkit includes a selection of materials to support your advocacy or research, provide context for the VMP's data infrastructure, and assist with planning, analysis or community-engaged work. Whether you are exploring epidemiological trends using HealthLandscape VA, preparing for data access or integrating public health tools into your project, we hope these resources will be helpful.

If you need immediate help, you can call the Alzheimer’s Association 24 hour hotline at 1-800-272-3900 or visit their website.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss potential collaborations or data access, please contact Annie Rhodes, Ph.D. directly at rhodesas2@vcu.edu.
