Four films from the Neurocognitive Aging and Analytics Research Education program's multimedia series were selected to screen at the American Public Health Association 2026 Annual Meeting.

Four short curricula films created as part of the Neurocognitive Aging and Analytics Research Education program through Cal State Fullerton in partnership with the University of Southern California, were accepted to screen at the American Public Health Association 2026 Annual Meeting. The APHA Annual Meeting is one of the nation’s largest public health gatherings. 

The selected videos are part of NAARE’s multimedia curriculum series, which introduces and amplifies learning on brain health, Alzheimer’s disease and related factors. Two films were featured during in-person sessions on Nov. 2, and two additional titles are available through APHA’s digital programming. 

“It was a very competitive pool,” said Archana McEligot, director of the NAARE program and professor of public health. “We’re excited to see neurocognitive aging curricula incorporated within a national and international venue and to share this work with a broader public health audience.” 

The accepted NAARE films include: “Alzheimer’s Disease Demystified: The Aging Brain,” “Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Factors: Can We Change Brain Health?,” “Aging and Health Equity: A Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Community-Based Perspective,” and “Health Disparities and the Aging Brain.”
