The Basic Income for Care Leavers in Wales pilot, launched in July 2022, is unique in several ways. No other basic income scheme has given regular payments as large as those received by young people involved in the pilot, nor have other basic income schemes been open to a national cohort of care leavers from the age of 18 for two years of payments. The pilot is being evaluated by a team led by researchers at CASCADE, Cardiff University and the evaluation is now in its second year. This session is based on the first annual report from the study, which includes early findings. We will describe the group of young people receiving the basic income, present a picture of how the scheme is intended to work, and discuss perceptions and experiences of professionals involved with the scheme.Presenter: David Westlake, Co-Investigator, CASCADE at Cardiff University.Further information about the programme can be found on the CASCADE website: https://cascadewales.org/research/the-welsh-basic-income-evaluation/

In this webinar, Dr. Buckley presents the sex differences in dementia, focusing on diagnosis, tauopathy, and implications for clinical trials.This presentation highlights the state of play in the literature with regard to sex differences in prevalence and incidence rates of dementia. Dr. Buckley touches upon the well characterized issue of women being underdiagnosed with dementia due to the fact that they perform much better than men on many neuropsychological tests. She presents her work that has shown consistently, and across many independent cohorts, that women show elevated levels of tauopathy in the brain relative to men. After demonstrating these sex differences in these clinical AD-related outcomes, she turns to the question of whether they might be driven by sex steroid hormones or the X chromosome. She ends the talk by touching upon the reasons why we care about sex differences, particularly from a clinical trials perspective. In addition, she presents her working framework for where she thinks the field stands and what gaps remain in the literature.Key Topics Include:The extent to which sex differences exist in Alzheimer’s disease riskHow sex steroid hormones and the X chromosome play a role in moderating this riskUnderstand the importance of sex disaggregating findings, both in observational research and also in clinical trialsPresenter: Rachel Buckley, PhD - Associate Professor, Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital.
