Description
Research on bereaved dementia caregivers rarely hears from African American families, and this project set out to change that. Robbin Frazier and co-authors describe in 2023 how the study, based in Minnesota's Twin Cities, chose to focus on African American caregivers after talks with community partners. Recruiting grew from years of ties with schools, nonprofits, and personal networks.
The team joined forces with a church-based dementia project and a youth group to reach younger caregivers. Most of all, they recruited in small stages, letting each person name the next voices worth hearing. The authors argue that this slow, community-led approach reached people that standard methods miss.
