Evaluating the value of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis: A social return on investment analysis

This includes a clinical (e.g. ability to live independently), humanistic (e.g. ability to contribute to family life and quality of life) and economic (e.g. ability to work) perspective.
This study has been approved by Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC 00430, approval number: 2025-07-1079).
