ADTI Overall, positive effects of ChEI medications are suggested through our results Consistent with previous research Small effects, but clinical relevant Reflect “real” life utilization of these medications

Collection of Unique Data Information about trends in utilization are emerging Use of novel measures that capture dimensions of benefit not tapped in conventional measures Treatment outcomes beyond clinical trial duration

Future Directions and Opportunities ADTI program provides an opportunity to utilize what we have learned and how that may be translated into future coverage policy
