Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study cognitive decline in African Americans, focusing on risk and protective factors to reduce dementia and Alzheimer's disease risk in minority populations.
Description
The project aims to explore innovative approaches to address variation in risk and protective factors contributing to cognitive decline in Blacks, which may ultimately reduce the risk of subsequent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease development in minority populations. The research will leverage secondary data from nationally recognized studies and includes training and professional development for the principal investigator. It addresses goals related to understanding effects of personal, interpersonal, and societal factors on aging and health disparities.
