CO3 Comparison of Goal Attainment and Measures of Function in Two Dementia Clinical Trials.

Questionnaire-style outcome measures are often used in clinical trials. It is unclear whether this type of outcome measurement can capture change that is personally meaningful to individuals. In contrast, Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) is an outcome measure where patients and clinicians develop and track an individualized set of treatment-related goals that are important to the patient. Here, we compared attainment of daily function goals to questionnaire-style measures of function in two mild-moderate dementia clinical trials.
