Improving research participation among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
Collaborative Approach for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders Research and Education (CARE) 2.0
This study is looking to include more Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people in Alzheimer's research, and it invites 10,000 adults from these communities to share their thoughts and experiences to help improve future health studies and make it easier for everyone to participate, especially those who may not speak English well.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the representation of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) individuals in studies related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. By expanding the CARE registry, the project will recruit 10,000 AANHPI adults, focusing on understanding their attitudes towards health research and improving recruitment strategies. Participants will have the opportunity to share their perspectives and experiences, which will inform future research efforts and clinical trials. The study will also address barriers to participation, particularly for those with limited English proficiency.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation are Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults, particularly those who have limited English proficiency or have not previously participated in research.
Not a fit: Patients who do not identify as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander may not receive benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more inclusive clinical trials and better health outcomes for AANHPI populations affected by Alzheimer's disease.
How similar studies have performed: Previous efforts to increase minority representation in clinical research have shown promise, indicating that targeted recruitment strategies can be effective.
