THE ISLAND PROJECT


REGISTER YOUR INTEREST IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMENTIA PREVENTION STUDY

The Island Study Linking Ageing and Neurodegenerative Disease (ISLAND) Project
will involve a range of studies that relate to understanding who is at most risk
of dementia and how we can self-manage risk behaviours to build resilience to
dementia.



Sign Up

The Wicking Dementia Centre has world leading research on the cause, prevention
and care of dementia. It has also developed a unique public health intervention,
the Preventing Dementia Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), which builds
self-efficacy in managing behaviours that contribute to risk of this condition.

Most of the risk for dementia is associated with ageing. However, international
research has indicated that approximately a third of dementia cases may be
effectively prevented if modifiable risk factors are addressed. It is never too
late to tackle these risk factors, but it is particularly important from middle
age onwards.

The Wicking Dementia Centre is establishing a bold new initiative that has never
been attempted before. We are seeking to reduce the incidence of dementia in a
whole population – the population of Tasmania – and we need your help. If we can
show that we can reduce risk behaviours in our State, then we can encourage the
world to take on dementia risk reduction.

We are looking to sign up over 20,000 Tasmanians over 50 years of age to be
partners in this globally significant challenge. Anyone can join in. The project
will be called the Island Study Linking Ageing and Neurodegenerative Disease, or
ISLAND.

The main ambition of ISLAND is to equip our Tasmanian community for dementia
risk behaviour reduction through the Preventing Dementia MOOC. We would ask that
you use what you learn from the MOOC to address your own risk profile and to
share with your family, friends and community.

We hope to also develop other tools and activities to help individuals and
communities take on these risk factors.

While the main outcome in the short term is to see if we can shift dementia risk
behaviours, the longer goal is to see if this reduces the age-specific incidence
of dementia in Tasmania. Along the way, there will also be a range of research
studies that ISLAND will be running, such as understanding who is at most risk
based on lifestyle and genetic factors, what health messages might encourage a
focus on dementia risk, and can we detect the very early stages of dementia with
a blood test? We will also be setting up clinics to assist people with cognitive
issues during ageing.

Register your interest in the ISLAND Project by selecting the Sign Up option on
this web page. Please encourage anyone you know who is concerned about dementia
to also register their interest! We will be in touch via your contact details
about the next steps. You can be involved in as little or as much of this
campaign as it rolls out, and engagement in research studies will be voluntary.

Help us make a dent in dementia in Tasmania, and help Tasmania lead the world in
preventing this life changing condition.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

×

To participate in ISLAND Project you will be using the learning management
system that hosts the massive open online courses delivered by the University of
Tasmania. The following Terms and Conditions apply. 

Introduction

The massive open online courses (“Courses”) are offered to people worldwide who
wish to benefit from the health-focussed research and education programs offered
by the College of Health & Medicine at the University of Tasmania (“UTAS”). The
Courses may include, without limitation, course material, chatrooms, newsgroups,
bulletin boards, online forums, websites, information and/or services
(collectively referred to herein as the “Content”). 

When you sign up for a profile and enrol in a Course you accept these Terms &
Conditions and UTAS provides you with access to the Courses at the entry-point
URL (https://ms.mooc.utas.edu.au and https://mooc.utas.edu.au collectively
defined as the Course “Sites”).

Acceptance of the Terms & Conditions as a binding legal agreement

A “Participant” is a person who signs up to the Sites and agrees to these Terms
& Conditions, which thereafter constitute a legally binding agreement between
the Participant and UTAS. These Terms & Conditions and the UTAS Privacy Policy
together (a) constitute the entire agreement between you and UTAS with respect
to your visit or participation in the Courses and use of the Sites, and (b)
supersede any prior agreements between you and UTAS with respect to your visit
or participation in the Courses or use of the Sites.

A “Visitor” is a person who does not sign up to a Course but browses the Content
and Sites using any capable mobile, wireless or other device, which browsing is
subject to these Terms & Conditions.

Right to change or modify the terms 

UTAS reserves the right to change or modify these Terms & Conditions at its sole
discretion at any time without notice. Any change or modification to the terms
will be effective immediately upon posting by UTAS on the Sites. UTAS will take
reasonable steps to notify you of such changes. You are bound by these changes
by your continued use of the Sites after changes have been posted on the Sites.

Access to the Sites

All Participants and Visitors are expected to have up to date anti-virus
software when accessing the Sites and to take reasonable steps to prevent
malicious attacks to the Sites.

You must not do or seek to do anything that would disassemble or otherwise
derive the source code for the Sites, or tamper with the Sites protective
mechanisms.

While all reasonable efforts are made to provide continuous access to the Sites,
this depends on telecommunications and internet service providers, and UTAS
cannot guarantee access to the Sites at all times, including times you may wish
to have access.

While all reasonable efforts are made by us to keep the Sites secure, and free
from viruses and malicious attack, UTAS cannot guarantee the security of
information on the Sites.

to persons who are 18 years of age or older, or those who demonstrate parental
or guardian consent. The Courses are not available to persons under the age of

Acceptance of the Terms & Conditions as a binding legal agreement

A “Participant” is a person who signs up to the Sites and agrees to these Terms
& Conditions, which thereafter constitute a legally binding agreement between
the Participant and UTAS. These Terms & Conditions and the UTAS Privacy Policy
together (a) constitute the entire agreement between you and UTAS with respect
to your visit or participation in the Courses and use of the Sites, and (b)
supersede any prior agreements between you and UTAS with respect to your visit
or participation in the Courses or use of the Sites.

A “Visitor” is a person who does not sign up to a Course but browses the Content
and Sites using any capable mobile, wireless or other device, which browsing is
subject to these Terms & Conditions.

UTAS reserves the right to change or modify these Terms & Conditions at its sole
discretion at any time without notice. Any change or modification to the terms
will be effective immediately upon posting by UTAS on the Sites. UTAS will take
