Description
Laurel Browne and co-authors tested culture-aware ways to draw Black older adults into Alzheimer research in New York City in a 2025 paper. Black Americans face higher dementia risk yet stay underrepresented in studies. A university program for sleep and dementia prevention set a goal of enrolling 125 Black participants aged fifty-five to eighty-five.
From late 2023 into early 2024, the program mixed community events, partner referrals, and a hired liaison who built trust face to face. The team compared this approach with older routes like cold calls and chart messages. Putting relationship building and health literacy first aimed to replace one-off contacts with steady engagement. The paper reports how the adapted streams performed against the program's enrollment goal and what other research teams can borrow.
