CUHK Brain Health Longitudinal Study
Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong
Summary
The goal of this study is to develop a large longitudinal cohort of individuals diagnosed with or at high risk for brain diseases (both neurological and psychiatric in nature), in order to identify risk factors that contribute to neurological and psychiatric diseases over time. The investigators seek to capture relevant information from medical records, electronically administered questionnaires and follow up phone-based interviews. The investigators expect to eventually have sufficient power from our dataset to examine risk factors for a variety of brain disorders, both individually and in aggregate. Our ultimate goal is to offer scientifically validated ways to preserve and promote brain health by working with our patients' needs and tracking their progress over time.

Neuro-QoL questionnaire
Follow-up over time will continue (either in-person or over the phone) using the same questionnaires (depending on which group they are belongs to) at approximately 6-month intervals. During each follow-up, participants will be screened for any new signs, symptoms and diagnoses of neurological and/or psychiatric disorders, in order to correlate these outcomes with risk factors captured using the procedures described above.
