Identifying, translating, and disseminating research findings and evidence-based public health best practices in dementia caregiving is a main goal of the PHCOE-DC. This page contains a collection of materials, tools and best-practices that public health agencies can use to support family members, friends, and other unpaid individuals who care for people living with dementia in their communities.
Our Center has renamed what was previously known as “Stakeholder Engagement Advisory Group” (SEAG), to the “Lived Experience Advisory Group” or LEAG (pronounced like “league”). We made this change due to the negative and harmful connotation the term “stakeholder” has in some communities.
To learn more about this change, please see our LEAG page and review CDC’s preferred terms for select populations and communities.
In all future resources, the term, “Lived Experience Advisory Group” or “LEAG” will be used- but please note, there may be mention of the “Stakeholder Engagement Advisory Group”, or the “SEAG”, in our past events and materials included in the resource library.
