Association between Trust of Researchers and Willingness to Participate in Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Research.

Introduction: The study examined the relationship between trust of researchers in research naïve participants, including those at higher risk, and interest in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) biomarker research participation.

Methods: A cohort of 399 community-dwelling older adults completed a survey about their trust of researchers and interest in participating in ADRD biomarker research.

Results: After controlling for sociodemographics and knowledge of ADRD, higher trust of researchers was associated with lower levels of hesitancy to participate in ADRD biomarker and neuroimaging studies ( < 0.

Developing and applying potentially scalable recruitment strategies to accelerate ADRD research participation of Black adults.

More than 2 million older Americans from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups (URGs) have early-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). There are very few scalable recruitment strategies, particularly for Black older adults, to accelerate participation in ADRD research. The Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (IADRC) and its Community Advisory Board developed and implemented the innovative RAAISE-D Framework.

Barriers and facilitators to participating in Alzheimer's disease biomarker research in black and white older adults.

Introduction: The study examined Black and White prospective participants' views of barriers to and facilitators of participation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker research.

Methods: In a mixed-methods study, 399 community-dwelling Black and White older adults (age ≥55) who had never participated in AD research completed a survey about their perceptions of AD biomarker research. Individuals from lower socioeconomic and education backgrounds and Black men were over-sampled to address perspectives of traditionally under-represented groups.

Accelerating diversity in Alzheimer's disease research by partnering with a community advisory board.

Introduction: Community advisory boards (CABs) and researcher partnerships present a promising opportunity to accelerate enrollment of underrepresented groups (URGs). We outline the framework for how the CAB and researchers at the Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (IADRC) partnered to accelerate URG participation in AD neuroimaging research.

Methods: CAB and the IADRC researchers partnered to increase the CAB's impact on URG study enrollment through community and research interactions.
