Description

Alice Grazia and co-authors set out a process evaluation for a German study of amyloid PET imaging in Alzheimer's care in this 2025 protocol paper. The parent study tests whether the scan changes patients' function at eighteen months. This sub-study asks how the intervention lands in real practice.

Interviews, surveys, and checklists will track acceptance among patients and providers, adherence to follow-up, and delivery fidelity. The team will also record context changes and the mechanisms that let the scan fit routine care. A mixed-methods analysis ties barriers and facilitators to outcomes. Expected findings include perceived utility and implementation hurdles. The authors say the lessons can guide similar evidence-development studies across Europe and beyond amyloid imaging.
