Description
Alexandra Reed and co-authors survey willingness to take a dementia risk test in a 2025 study. Early screening is urged by health groups, yet tools only help if people agree to use them. The team surveyed 572 United States adults online about a hypothetical short term risk test. The average age was about 42, and the study paid mind to groups the medical system often underserves.
Black older adults face twice the dementia risk of white peers but engage less with care, a gap the authors flag. What moves willingness (fear, trust, cost, clarity) decides whether screening widens or narrows that gap. The results can guide how risk tests are offered, not just how they are built.
