Description

Quinton Cotton and co-authors describe how they built a dementia training program with, not just for, a Latine community, in a 2023 paper. Caregiving programs often land poorly when culture is added late. The team studied its own design process through memos, document review, World Cafe sessions with local residents, and interviews with staff of Latine organizations.

The work cycled through listening, folding what was heard into the draft program, and checking the result back with the community. The authors argue that smooth design needs language skill on the team, program craft, and real relationships. The paper guides teams who want elder-care training that families will actually trust and use.
