## Abstract

ADRD SUPPLEMENT TO “BUILDING TRUST TO ENHANCE DIVERSITY IN AGING RESEARCH”
This supplement proposal seeks to extend the scope of our collaborative program, “Building
Trust to Enhance Diversity in Aging Research” (R24 AG063728), to develop a registry reflecting
a diverse population of individuals for future participation in clinical aging studies by adding
those with cognitive problems and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) who
were not included in our parent project. In the proposed ADRD Supplement we attempt to
understand the special concerns of those with ADRD and their caregivers as a first step in
enrolling them into the developing registry. ADRD are responsible for an increasing proportion
of deaths among older adults; display racial and other disparities across the spectrum of risk
factors, diagnosis, and treatment; and are burdensome for families and caregivers. Much more
work needs to be done to understand risk factors, mechanisms, and the course of ADRD
progression in underrepresented populations. Through structured interviews with individuals
with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild ADRD, and their caregivers if applicable, we will
pilot test and adapt our registry recruitment strategies selection process. We will also identify
barriers to participation in research studies among individuals with MCI or mild ADRD and their
caregivers. We will also compare and contrast these barriers with those reported by participants
of the parent study without cognitive impairments. The overarching goal of this supplement is to
extend, using similar methods, the ongoing parent study’s work in engaging a diverse
population of older adults to voluntarily join our registry to so that it will encompass those with
cognitive impairments, including mild ADRD, and their caregivers thereby enhancing the value
of the registry to investigators conducting aging research.
