Rate My Professor Kylie Radford

Radford's research specializations center on ageing, cognitive decline, and dementia among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Since 2009, she has been involved in the Koori Growing Old Well Study (KGOWS), an epidemiological study examining ageing and dementia in urban and regional Aboriginal communities in New South Wales. She currently holds an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship, which investigates social and biomedical risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia while promoting healthy brain ageing in partnership with urban and rural Aboriginal communities. Key publications include the book chapter 'Memory rehabilitation in neurological patients' (2015, Wiley Handbook on the Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory, with L.A. Miller); 'Clinicians' views on cognitive assessment with Aboriginal Australians' (2024, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry); 'Depression, childhood trauma, and physical activity in older Indigenous Australians' (2023, International Psychogeriatrics); 'Older Aboriginal Australians' Health Concerns and Preferences for Healthy Ageing Programs' (2020, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health); and 'Ngarraanga Giinganay ('thinking peacefully'): Co-design of memory rehabilitation for Aboriginal Australians' (2021, Patient Education and Counseling). With over 90 journal articles, her contributions advance neuropsychological assessment, Indigenous health equity, and dementia care models tailored for Aboriginal communities.
