In CSHA-1 and 2, those who scored
less than 78 on the 3MS, plus a sample of people who scored
78 or above and all those living in institutions, were invited
to undergo the clinical assessment. The Neuropsychological
Assessment formed part of the CSHA-1 and 2 clinical assessment.
In CSHA-3, the neuropsychological assessment formed a separate
component that was administered to all who scored below 90
on the 3MS. Those whom the neuropsychologist considered to
have cognitive impairments were invited to attend the clinical
examination
