Abstract
ObjectiveThis article introduces a special issue on advancing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) research drawing from research conducted by the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (JHAD-RCMAR).MethodWe describe the JHAD-RCMAR, highlighting work of early career investigators in the JHAD-RCMAR, summarize key accomplishments, and propose recommendations for next steps in ameliorating disparities in cognitive decline and AD/ADRD risk.ResultsArticles in this special issue report on innovative research focused on basic, clinical, psychosocial, or health services aspects of minority aging, AD/ADRD, and health disparities. In addition, we include a paper on how mixed methods can be used to enhance health equity in research on AD/ADRD and cognitive impairment.DiscussionThe Supplement helps fill a critical knowledge gap regarding drivers of disparities in cognitive decline or risk in AD/ADRD, thereby informing future work as it relates to AD/ADRD and health equity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research findings and scholarly exchange in the area of aging and health. Manuscripts are sought that deal with social and behavioral factors related to health and aging. Disciplines represented include the behavioral and social sciences, public health, epidemiology, demography, health services research, nursing, social work, medicine, and related disciplines. Although preference is given to manuscripts presenting the findings of original research, review and methodological pieces will also be considered.
