- Keynote talk by Ozioma Okonkwo: “The ADNI3 Diversity Taskforce: A novel culturally-informed and community-engaged protocol for the inclusion of minoritized persons in Alzheimer’s disease research”
- Description: Ethnoculturally diverse individuals from underrepresented populations (URPs), including but not limited to Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx adults, are disproportionally affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD) compared to non-Hispanic/Latinx white adults. However, URPs have historically been under-included in AD studies. The objective of this presentation is to describe efforts, and the results of those efforts, to increase enrollment and engagement of ethnoculturally diverse adults from URPs in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 3 (ADNI3) Study.
- Keynote moderator: Jennifer Walker
