New Research Shows Alzheimer's Disease Research Recruitment Treatments Public Education Must Account for Cultural Beliefs

Three independent studies looked at African American, Latino and Hmong
American communities to examine their beliefs about causes and preventions of
Alzheimer's and to determine how their views were influenced by culture . African
Americans were also more likely to suggest that lowering stress levels,
engaging in physical activity and eating a healthy diet are effective ways to
prevent Alzheimer's.
"These distinctions in beliefs about Alzheimer's may be important to keep
in mind when designing health education and outreach programs for diverse
audiences," said Roberts.D.S. In addition to recent studies presented at major medical
conferences, published peer-reviewed studies include, for example,
