Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults aged 21 and older from the San Francisco Bay Area, including cognitively healthy people and those with memory concerns, especially from Chinese American, Latino, and Black/African American communities.
✕Less likely to help
People who live outside the San Francisco Bay Area, are under 21, or cannot participate in local activities are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
What this research studies
You would be reached through community partners, neighborhood events, and tailored outreach in vulnerable San Francisco neighborhoods. The program offers clinical care for adults with memory problems, public education about brain health for people and local providers, and art- and movement-based activities to support engagement. It helps recruit and keep diverse volunteers in the Alzheimer's center and shares individualized visit summaries and recommendations with you and your primary care provider. The team also uses social and lifetime-exposure information to better understand community needs and guide outreach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could improve access to diagnosis, care, and research for underserved communities and increase culturally tailored support and retention in Alzheimer's studies.
How similar studies have gone: Culturally tailored outreach and education have improved recruitment in other Alzheimer's programs, while combining arts-based engagement and exposome mapping is a newer approach.
