Study for Black Adults at Risk of Developing Dementia or Alzheimer's Disease
Protocol: STUDY00009532
Full Title
Culturally Competent Educational Program for Black Older Adults at Risk of Dementia
Description
Dementia is a condition that affects all people from all walks of life. People living with dementia have trouble with their memory, thinking, and performing everyday activities. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common type of dementia. It affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Unfortunately, there is no cure for dementia. However, treatments exist that can help slow the worsening of the disease and manage symptoms.

Researchers from the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Nursing are developing a new program to help educate Black adults who are at risk of developing dementia. This study may help to improve self-care in preventing dementia in the future.

Participants attend two separate visits on the UB South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Aveue): (1) answer surveys about dementia and brain health and (2) a focus group and education about dementia to share their feedback about the study.

Participants will receive a Tim Horton’s gift card.
