This exploration focuses on policies across multiple domains including public health, long-term care, environmental, and social policies. Studying variations in policies across jurisdictions (e.g., states, countries, regions) and over time enable researchers to assess their impact on AD\/ADRD risk factors and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To advance this work, the Policy Environment domain focuses on identifying understudied policies, developing standardized and cutting-edge methods for policy data collection and harmonization, and creating robust analytical approaches to evaluate policy effects on dementia outcomes.
