NC Registry for Brain Health

“ncbrainhealth.org”

 

The NC Registry for Brain Health is the first of its kind in the state of North Carolina. The Registry is designed to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and to connect North Carolinians of all ages to research opportunities designed to improve brain health. When you join the NC Registry for Brain Health, you will learn about research taking place at Duke University, East Carolina University, North Carolina A&T State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Wake Forest School of Medicine.

Alzheimer’s currently affects over 5.8 million people in the US. Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death, and accounts for more deaths than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. It comes at a huge expense in dollars and time. In 2020, the US will spend $305 billion dollars on caring for those with dementia. This number does not include the care provided by more than 16 million Americans who provide unpaid care for family members and friends. This care is valued at $244 billion dollars in caregiver hours and many of these caregivers have left the workforce to care for their loved ones.

 

Medical science has come a long way in the last 30 years, but there is still no cure for Alzheimer’s. You can be part of the solution by participating in research. Preventing Alzheimer’s can only come with further research aimed at treatments that can be implemented early, safely, and engaging the right targets and biomarkers.

This Registry is for all people, particularly underserved communities, across the state of North Carolina who want to be part of the solution. It is also a collaborative network of research institutions in North Carolina. The registry provides people access to research opportunities while providing researchers a research ready cohort to accelerate recruitment for clinical studies statewide from the mountains to the shore.
