Can the ADCQ tell me if the person who was rated has Alzheimer s disease?
No. Although research has shown that certain patterns of ADCQ results are suggestive of Alzheimer s disease, the diagnosis of this disorder should not be made solely on the basis of ADCQ results. The diagnosis of Alzheimer s disease should be made only by a qualified health care professional. The ADCQ should be used to rate only individuals who are 40 years of age or older.
