Understanding Dementia:
The Vital Importance of Engaging Diverse Older Adults with Dementia and their Communities in Research

Associate Professor
University of Virginia School of Nursing

Discussion will follow on how ADRD disproportionately affects persons of African American ethnicity, yet people who identify as Black/African American adults are consistently underrepresented in AD research.
