The Gerontological Society of America's "Kickstart, Assess, Evaluate, Refer" (GSA KAER) Toolkit helps primary care teams support brain health and improve cognitive impairment detection.

Recent scientific advances establish that:
-Many strategies can help preserve brain health
-Having early conversations and making specific plans should start early as part of routine health care

The GSA KAER framework was developed to meet the need to foster earlier, more meaningful discussions about brain health with older adults.
