Is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) an acceptable tool for cognitive screening in Pakistani substance-dependent male patients?
The study investigates the acceptability and utility of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for screening cognitive impairments in Pakistani substance-dependent male patients.
MoCA may support feasible cognitive screening in Pakistani rehab patients; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
The objective of this study was to determine the cognitive impairments present in Pakistani substance -dependent patients admitted in rehabilitation centers of Islamabad/Rawalpindi in a time-efficient and cost effective way. Globally, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is being used for cognitive screening of patients, due to its established clinical utility and ease of administration. Therefore, we sought to investigate acceptability of this test in substance -dependent patients of Pakistani origin.
