Enhancing Participation of Historically Minoritized Groups in Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias Research: National Conference Report

This paper reports on the 2023 conference "Enhancing Participation by Minoritized Groups in Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) Research" organized by the Washington University School of Medicine's Knight ADRC. The conference was guided by the 2015 National Institute on Aging (NIA) Health Disparities Research Framework, which delineates that "fundamental life-course factors such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status interact with behavioral and biological characteristics to determine health and disease." The multiple ways of engaging participants described at the conference provide guidance and strategies that can be adapted and utilized across the ADRC network and other research programs nationally to enhance inclusion of minoritized groups in ADRD research.
