Demographically adjusted norms considering sociocultural factors can address inequities in neuropsychological test interpretation, but there is still a need for improvement in diagnostic validity within diverse populations.
Demographically adjusted norms that include sociocultural factors such as race can provide an evidence-based approach for addressing the chronic systemic and diagnostic inequities in the interpretation of neuropsychological tests. However, these norms have important limitations, and more work is needed to improve the diagnostic validity of neuropsychological assessments in diverse populations.
