What this research studies
We reach into local neighborhoods, clinics, and community organizations to share clear, culturally tailored information about Alzheimer's and related dementias. We offer bilingual education, train local healthcare providers, and create easy ways for older adults and their study partners to learn about and join research. The team supports people who join studies to help them stay involved and builds long-term partnerships with underserved Latino and African American communities. These efforts aim to increase diverse enrollment and make research more accessible and representative.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults age 65 and older, particularly those from Latino or African American communities or others with limited healthcare access who want to learn about or join Alzheimer's research.
Not a fit: People younger than 65, those living outside the San Diego area, or those not interested in participating in research may not directly benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more people from underserved communities would take part in Alzheimer's studies, helping research results apply to a wider range of people.
How similar studies have performed: Community outreach and culturally tailored recruitment programs have increased enrollment and retention in other Alzheimer's research efforts, so this approach builds on prior successes.
