Abstract

A lack of diversity in Alzheimer's (AD) and dementia research is an important barrier to identifying strategies for prevention and treatment. Research suggests media coverage of AD/dementia research will familiarize people with the issue and motivate them to place more importance in the issue in general. This study explores how news media may inform groups that are under-represented in AD/dementia through coverage of the issue. A national survey identified the media outlets that were most often consumed and used for health information within target populations. Transcripts from these media outlets were content analyzed to examine AD/dementia coverage. The timeframe included the months before and after the US FDA's approval of the drug Aduhelm and the controversy surrounding it. Results highlight differences in under-represented groups' media consumption patterns and coverage of AD/dementia and indicates a failure to inform about an event that may have widespread effect on Medicare and AD/dementia research.

阿尔茨海默病和痴呆症研究在新闻媒体上的报道,在阿尔茨海默病和痴呆症研究登记处代表性不足的人群。
阿尔茨海默病(AD)和痴呆症研究缺乏多样性是确定预防和治疗策略的重要障碍。研究表明,媒体对阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症研究的报道将使人们熟悉这个问题,并促使他们在总体上更加重视这个问题。本研究探讨了新闻媒体如何通过对这一问题的报道来告知在阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症中代表性不足的群体。一项全国调查确定了目标人群中最常消费和使用的健康信息媒体渠道。对这些媒体的文字记录进行了内容分析,以检查阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症的报道。时间范围包括美国食品药品监督管理局批准Aduhelm药物以及围绕它的争议之前和之后的几个月。结果突出了代表性不足的群体的媒体消费模式和对阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症的报道的差异,并表明未能告知可能对医疗保险和阿尔茨海默病/痴呆症研究产生广泛影响的事件。

期刊介绍: Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
