Description
Nkimbeng and co-authors describe in 2023 how a dementia education program was built by and for the African immigrant community in Minnesota. African immigrants are a fast growing share of the United States Black population, yet their dementia knowledge and care needs were little known. A community assessment named education as a top priority.
A project advisory board from the community steered the work with the research team. Ten key informant interviews and three community conversations with thirty people supplied the base data. Themes stressed respect, beliefs, and care challenges, plus myths to debunk. The finished program has run at three community events, with more scheduled, and audiences say it captures their cultural norms well.
