Many older adults live in ethnically diverse rural settings where they face a higher burden of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as well as delayed detection due to health inequities. Furthermore, cultural perceptions about aging could add to disparities in recognizing and treating AD in these populations. Researchers from
Florida Atlantic University’s
Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and Brain Institute have addressed this need by developing a novel tool called the “Basic Knowledge of Alzheimer’s Disease” (BKAD).
