Description
Rifat Alam, Brianna Sirdich, and Andiara Schwingel interview care providers about dementia in minoritized communities in a 2023 study. Twelve providers and administrators from five organizations in Illinois and Indiana described, in video interviews, where care breaks down for African American and Latinx patients. Transcripts were coded for shared themes.
Three themes emerged. Families often delay seeking care, unsure what is normal aging, wary of the system, or unaware of help. Providers in turn lack a full support web: language and dialect barriers, poor access, and thin resources all bite. A third theme, cut off in the record, concerns further system gaps. Naming the failure points is the first step toward fixing them.
