CORE Impact

FAQ

• What is a core impact set?
  • People living with aphasia will make a list of what impacts them the most about living with aphasia. This is different than the usual way in which researchers and clinicians decide what to focus on.
  • People living with aphasia will prioritize a list of what most impacts their health and daily activities.
  • Then, researchers and clinicians will have input based on the impacts prioritized by those living with aphasia.
  • Lastly, those living with aphasia, researchers, and clinicians will come together to develop a Patient-Centered – Core Impact Set for Aphasia in the US.
