Description
Hae-Ra Han studies what it takes to assess dementia among older Korean American immigrants in a 2025 paper. No national standard guides how community programs should spot likely dementia, and the need grows as minority elders age. The work draws on a trial that pairs dementia literacy teaching with navigation help for Korean older adults near Washington and New York.
The team built a two-step screen. A short memory test came first, and those who scored below a set line were invited, with a care partner, to a fuller rating interview. Bilingual community health workers were trained to run the steps, filling a gap in bilingual elder-care staff. Logs and enrollment records show how the approach played out in practice.
