19. A RANDOMIZED PROSPECTIVE SURVEY TO UNDERSTAND DEMENTIA RESEARCH READINESS ACROSS DIVERSE COMMUNITIES
Introduction
Even with recruitment efforts for racial and ethnic minorities in dementia research, there is still underrepresentation in these communities. Targeting barriers and facilitators to research participation, we developed and tested a culturally tailored communication approach tailored for Hispanics.
Methods
An iterative process informed by input from the minority advisory board of an Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, developed 2 brief health communication videos, featuring Hispanic actors/Spanish language sub-titles. The experimental video (POWER) focused on barriers, facilitators, and readiness to participate in dementia research. The control video focused on education only. A randomized prospective survey compared POWER vs. control. While race or ethnicity were not inclusion criteria for enrollment, we oversampled Hispanic and non-white communities. We examined change pre vs. post-video on dementia knowledge, cumulative barriers, and facilitators to research participation, as well as change in research readiness measured by Transtheoretical behavior change model.
Results
The analyzable sample (N= 184) had a mean age of 40.0 (Standard deviation/SD 13.2) years, 57.4% (n=105) female, 47.2% (n=85) non-white, 21.2% (n=39) Hispanic, with 88 individuals randomized to POWER and 96 to control. Unadjusted evaluation of change from pre vs. post-video showed significant improvements in dementia knowledge, research facilitators and research barriers (p LESS THAN .001 all) but no significant difference between POWER vs. controls. Adjusted for age, gender, race, ethnicity and education, only change in dementia knowledge remained significantly improved for the group as a whole, with no significant difference between POWER vs. controls. In the entire sample, Hispanics exposed to any communication had significantly less improvement in research readiness (r= -.217, p=.003). Exploratory analysis of positive change predictors in those randomized to POWER and to control suggests Hispanics in POWER may have an advantage with respect to dementia knowledge (r=.248, p=.02) and research facilitators (r=.342, p=.001).
Conclusions
Health communications can improve dementia knowledge across diverse communities.
