Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by cognitive and memory decline. People with this disease develop language impairment. It is important to administer screening tests in the person’s native language since language ability declines with the disease process. The Mini Mental Status Exam and the Clock Drawing Test are generally administered in English to Francophones living in Northern Ontario, which can lead to a misinterpretation of their cognitive abilities and lead to an incorrect diagnosis. To mitigate this, our aim was to develop and validate the aforementioned psychometric tests in French to Franco-Ontarian. The Mini Mental Status Exam and the Clock Drawing Test were translated in accordance with Caron’s (1999) cross-cultural validation and tested with Francophones from Greater Sudbury who suffered from cognitive deficits (N=14). No statistical difference (p>.05) between the scores of the Franco-Ontarian translation of the Clock Drawing Test and the Mini Mental Status Exam and the original tests was noted. Although further validation is needed, these translated tests, according to the authors, can help ensure language appropriate screening for Northern Ontario Francophones.
