## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Compared to the general population, United States military Veterans are at increased risk for dementia, possibly
due in part to increased exposure to traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. Further research
is needed to better understand how these service-related risk factors interact with other Alzheimer's disease
(AD) risk factors to accelerate dementia risk. Such research is necessary to identify strategies for AD prevention
in Veterans. The proposed “Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) Recruitment and
Engagement of Veterans into Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias Studies
Program” will work with stakeholders across the Madison Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital, the VA Geriatric
Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), related VA community-based programs, and the Wisconsin
ADRC Cores to improve engagement, recruitment, and retention of Veterans into clinical studies identifying
dementia risk factors and potential AD prevention strategies relevant to Veterans. The program will build upon
the community engagement models used by the Wisconsin ADRC to increase recruitment and retention of
individuals from African American and Native American communities into the ADRC Clinical Core and related
studies. In addition, the proposed program will draw upon the experiences of Madison VA investigators and
input from the Veteran Engagement Group to ensure that strategies and resources reflect Veteran interests.
Successful principles and processes developed through this program will be shared across the National Institute
on Aging ADRC Program and related studies.
