abstract = {A screening tool may help determine who in the population
is exposed to which dementia risk factor and, in this way,
prevent or delay symptoms. With this study, we examined the
practically of using a patient self-completion screening
checklist for detecting dementia risk factors with general
practitioners (GP). The checklist 'CogFit' was developed
based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Fourteen GPs
(average age 44.8 years; $71.4\%$ female) tested it with
their patients and reported their experiences in a
questionnaire and the System Usability Scale (SUS). In our
survey, $57.2\%$ of the GPs considered the checklist useful
and most GPs $(83\%)$ indicated that the current version is
sufficient. The user-friendliness of the CogFit checklist
was good (SUS score M = 73.13, SD = 10.45). Most GPs
$(71.4\%)$ reported having gained important information
about their patients. $69\%$ gave lifestyle advice and
$61.5\%$ referred their patients to brochures or courses.
Yet, about two thirds $(64.3\%)$ reported an increased
workload and four GPs disagreed to use the checklist in
future. Our results indicate an overall good practicality of
our patient self-completion checklist (CogFit) in primary
care. Further research involving patients and estimating the
overall effectiveness on cognitive health is needed.},
