Advancing Alzheimer’s Disease Communication and Recruitment Science among American Indians and Alaska Natives (Amanda’s K01)
Status: Current
Grant Start: 05/01/2021
Grant End: 02/28/2026
This study aims to assess how American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people seek, process, and react to online information sources about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and will administer a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a future effectiveness trial. This study will result in a culturally tailored website for AI/AN people and provide the information needed to develop further online information materials on ADRD and clinical studies to AI/AN people; it also provides much-needed information for public health officials, healthcare providers, and policymakers about health communication with AI/AN people.
