ACAD U19 Outreach and Education Core Abstract To address the limited participation among Asian Americans and Canadians (ASACs) in Alzheimer’s disaesae and related dementias (ADRD) research, the goal of the ACAD U19 Outreach and Education Core (B), Brain Health Education and Risk of Dementia (B-HEARD), is to provide the education/outreach tools to engage and recruit older ASACs in ADRD research, which is relevant to both proposed ACAD projects (i.e., education/outreach on what research is, especially ADRD genetics, lifestyles, and biomarkers research). We will use community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods, and leverage/expand on the multi-lingual outreach resources in Multiple Principal Investigator (MPI) Park’s NIA-funded Collaborative Approach for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Research and Education (CARE) research recruitment registry. The proposed aims will be conducted in five written languages (English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese) and five spoken languages (Cantonese, English, Korean, Mandarin, and Vietnamese): Aim 1. To develop and promote the use of culturally and linguistically appropriate educational resources for recruitment and retention in ADRD research including ACAD; Aim 2. To monitor ACAD recruitment/outreach, develop metrics of success, and provide support for recruitment success; and Aim 3. To develop and provide training to ADRD researchers on the best practices of CBPR and communication approaches with older Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese Americans and Canadians about ADRD research participation. B-HEARD aligns with two major goals of the NIA’s strategic directions for research which are to 1) Support the infrastructure and resources needed to promote high-quality research; and 2) Disseminate information to the public; scientific and medical communities; stakeholder advocacy, community, and older adult-support organizations; the media; and policymakers about research and interventions. The proposed resources may be added to the NIA ADORE, which may assist other ADRD researchers in recruitment and retention of ASACs, thereby, helping to improve diversity and inclusion of underrepresented populations (i.e., ASACs) in ADRD research.
