title: Challenges in disseminating the findings of psychosocial research conducted in a non-English speaking country.
abstract: At the recent, 16th Congress of the International Psychogeriatric Association, the Psychosocial Research Consortium to Advance the Mental Health of Older People in the Asia-Pacific region (PROMOTE) was launched by IPA president Henry Brodaty in part to enable collaboration and dissemination of findings in this region. At the symposium that inaugurated PROMOTE, Professor Brodaty stated, "As local (psychosocial) research, conducted in many of the countries in the region, is often published in their own language, little is known about their research outside their countries." (Brodaty, 2013).
