Overview

The Diversity and Disparities PIA focuses on identifying potential differences in risk reduction strategies, diagnosis, and treatment effectiveness in individuals of diverse backgrounds. A major emphasis is placed on underlying cultural and cognitive differences and brain mechanisms. The PIA also explores culturally-responsible strategies for dementia risk reduction in these populations.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs): All members are welcome to join this PIA to connect with peers in the field.
