Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted older Black Americans. Given that assistance networks play a crucial role in older adults' ability to respond to challenges, we sought to investigate whether older adults' assistance network size changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and differed by race.
Methods: We analyzed data from the 2018-2020 rounds of the U.
Objectives: Effective education and support for adults with dementia and their caregivers around pandemic issues is critical for protecting them.

We collaborated with educators and support staff at Alzheimer's Association Connecticut (AACT) to conduct a mixed-methods study and develop an animated e-curriculum addressing pandemic related challenges.
