Segmento di "60 Minutes" ritrasmesso su FTD

60minutes logo

On September 15, 60 minuti re-aired a segment on frontotemporal degeneration that was originally broadcast this past May.

AFTD provided the show’s producers with background information on FTD, and connected them with Bruce Miller, MD. Dr. Miller, who leads a robust FTD program at the University of California San Francisco and is a founding member of AFTD’s Medical Advisory Council, was the medical expert featured in the piece.

AFTD ha anche messo in contatto i produttori con il reverendo Tracey Lind, a cui è stata diagnosticata un'afasia primaria progressiva nel 2016, e Amy Johnson, una madre di quattro bambini piccoli il cui marito ha una variante comportamentale FTD, entrambi descritti nella storia.

When it originally aired in May, the story had an immediate and measurable impact on FTD awareness — a testament to the importance of sharing FTD stories. AFTD’s website had its highest-traffic day ever on May 5; May 6 was not far behind. All told, nearly 89,000 users accessed theaftd.org in May 2019, nearly five times the number of users from the previous May.

Anche le richieste alla HelpLine dell'AFTD sono aumentate in seguito alla trasmissione. Il personale dell’AFTD ha fornito informazioni pratiche, compassionevoli e accurate dal punto di vista medico in risposta a 351 chiamate ed e-mail della HelpLine nel maggio 2019, rispetto ai 210 casi della HelpLine nel maggio 2018.

An additional “60 minuti Overtime” segmento features behind-the-scenes information about how Whitaker and producer Rome Hartman reported and put together the story. On Monday, May 6, Dr. Ted Huey of AFTD’s Medical Advisory Council provided a national television audience with additional information about FTD in an intervista su CBS questa mattina.
