National and state-level variations in caregiving for persons living with dementia in the US
Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine variations between dementia caregivers, caregivers of people without dementia, and non-caregivers across a range of sociodemographic and health variables nationally in 47 states and within five specific states representing a region of the U. S. (New York, Arizona, Minnesota, Idaho, Maine). Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study utilized 2021-2022 data from the Centers for Disease Con…
Community health workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a growing part of the healthcare workforce. Trusted in their communities, CHWs can provide essential health education and connection with culturally responsive health and support resources and programs. Despite their demonstrated effectiveness in improving outcomes in other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, HIV, and pediatric asthma, CHWs have been underutilized in dementia-related efforts. Prope…
A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Factors Promoting Intergenerational Resilience in Adolescent Youth With Refugee Status
These findings, originating within the complex dynamics of resettled war-affected families, demonstrated the interconnectedness of adolescent and parent experiences and opportunities to advance resilience in youth navigating integration and supporting their families through those same processes
Perceptions of Dementia and Dementia Care Among African Immigrants in Minnesota
The findings show that African immigrant cultural beliefs significantly shape dementia care and caregiving attitudes, preferences, and behavioral practices. African immigrants' cultural backgrounds influence (or have the potential to influence) timely access and engagement in dementia care. And, depending on how deeply held these cultural beliefs are, they could affect dementia care and caregiving both positively and negatively. With the rapidly …
Associations Between Attachment and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults Living With Early-Stage Cognitive Impairment and Their Adult Children
Psychosocial interventions that incorporate attachment theory as a framework may benefit parent-child dyads coping with dementia
Association of Primary Care Visit Length With Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing
In this cross-sectional study, shorter visit length was associated with a higher likelihood of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for patients with upper respiratory tract infections and coprescribing of opioids and benzodiazepines for patients with painful conditions. These findings suggest opportunities for additional research and operational improvements to visit scheduling and quality of prescribing decisions in primary care
The Senior Companion Program Plus (SCP Plus)
Findings from this study implied that SCP Plus was a promising model for African American family caregivers as it benefits both the SC volunteers and the African American ADRD family caregivers
A Qualitative Analysis of Mechanisms of Benefit in the Residential Care Transition Module
This study sought to determine the perceived benefits of the Residential Care Transition Module (RCTM), a novel multi-component, psychoeducational/psychosocial, telehealth intervention for caregivers of cognitively impaired relatives living in residential long-term care (RLTC). Few support programs exist for these caregivers. Determining the intervention's mechanisms of benefit will provide actionable clinical and research information regarding w…
The Immigrant Memory Collaborative
Research suggests a disparity in the prevalence of dementia, with Black older adults having double the risk compared to their White counterparts. African immigrants are a fast-growing segment of the U.S. Black population, but the dementia care needs and resources of this population are not fully understood. In this paper, we describe the process of working collaboratively with a community partner and project advisory board to conduct a culturally…
Where to Retire? Experiences of Older African Immigrants in the United States
Doubling in size since the 1970s, the aging needs of the African immigrant population are not fully understood. This qualitative study examined experiences of aging and retirement planning for African immigrant older adults in the United States (U.S.). Specifically, it explored the factors, processes, and ultimate decision of where these older adults planned to retire. Secondary analysis of semi-structured interviews with 15 older African immigra…
Refining a Driving Retirement Program for Persons With Dementia and Their Care Partners
The CarFreeMeTM-Dementia intervention, tailored to an American audience, appears to be a feasible, acceptable, and useful support program for drivers with memory loss (and/or their care partners) who are preparing for or adjusting to driving retirement. Further investigations of the efficacy of the CarFreeMeTM-Dementia intervention in the United States, as well as in other countries and cultural contexts, are warranted
Sick with stress’
Persons living with dementia continue to desire and need air travel. This study gives voice to the current lived experiences of persons with dementia and their caregiving travel companions using U.S. airports. Forty-eight persons living with dementia and 176 travel companions shared information about themselves and their airport experiences through a web-survey. Results identified common challenges and ways in which U.S. airports could be improve…
Adult Day Services, Health Equity for Older Adults With Complex Needs, and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 have unduly affected older adults from racial and ethnic minority groups. In this article, we highlight the experiences and vulnerabilities of diverse older adults with complex health and social needs when their access to vital, but overlooked, community-based adult day service centers (ADSCs) was abruptly cut off during a pandemic. Pandemic-related ADSC closures left vulnerable older adults and their care pa…

Mechanisms Explaining the Relationship Between Maternal Torture Exposure and Youth Adjustment In Resettled Refugees
Transitioning to Long-Term Care
Objectives: Previous analyses of interventions targeting relationships between family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and residential long-term care (RLTC) staff showed modest associations with caregiver outcomes. This analysis aimed to better understand interpersonal and contextual factors that influence caregiver-staff relationships and identify targets for future interventions to improve these relationships.…
Changes over Time in Racial/Ethnic Differences in Quality of Life for Nursing Home Residents
Objectives: To investigate trends in racial/ethnic differences in nursing home (NH) residents' quality of life (QoL) and assess these patterns within and between facilities. Method: Data include resident-reported QoL surveys ( n = 60,093), the Minimum Data Set, and facility-level characteristics ( n = 376 facilities) for Minnesota. Hierarchical linear models were estimated to identify differences in QoL by resident race/ethnicity and facility rac…
Do Big Five Personality Traits Moderate the Effects of Stressful Life Events on Health Trajectories? Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study
Findings suggest that personality and stressful life events are important predictors of health outcomes. However, we found little evidence that personality moderates the effect of major stressful events across a 2-year time frame. Any heightened reactivity related to high neuroticism may be time-limited to the months immediately after a major stressful event
Ageing in the margins
What constitutes a ‘good place to grow old’? This study aimed to characterise salient features of built and social environments that are essential to support low-income ageing residents. Seated and mobile interviews were conducted with community-dwelling older participants (aged 55–92, mean = 71 years) in three distinct socio-economic and geographic samples of the Minneapolis (Minnesota, United States of America) metropolitan area. The interviews…
Yoga Practice Among Veterans With and Without Chronic Pain
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to examine differences in yoga practice between persons with and without chronic pain. Secondarily, we describe use of the Essential Properties of Yoga Questionnaire, Short Form (EPYQ-SF) for self-report. DESIGN: Participants were members of an existing cohort of veterans who completed a 2015-2016 survey focused on pain and nonpharmacological health practices. Cohort members who reported yoga in the p…
The Effect of Physical and Cognitive Impairments on Caregiving
BACKGROUND: Many older adults receive caregiving; however, less is known about how a change in a care recipient's functional activity limitations [instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and basic activities of daily living (ADL)] as well as their cognitive impairment influence the amount of caregiving received. METHODS: Using the Health and Retirement Study (2002-2014) we identified community-dwelling respondents with Alzheimer disease an…

Change in Balance Confidence and Its Associations With Increasing Disability in Older Community-Dwelling Women at Risk for Falling
Decreasing balance confidence plays an important role in disablement. More research is needed to identify predictors of decreasing balance confidence
Analysis of Cognitive, Functional, Health Service Use, and Cost Trajectories Prior to and Following Memory Loss
Preclinical declines in mental status and function and increases in hospital use and OOPMD are apparent prior to the formal identification of memory problems. Earlier identification of these changes might provide a basis for interventions that could alter the clinical course of dementia
The Effects of Incident and Persistent Behavioral Problems on Change in Caregiver Burden and Nursing Home Admission of Persons With Dementia
BACKGROUND: The individual contributions of behavior problems to key and related outcomes in dementia, such as nursing home admission (NHA) or caregiver burden, remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the ramifications of temporal change in individual behavior problems when accounting for increases in caregiver burden and time to NHA. Although burden is sometimes conceptualized as an antecedent to NHA, it has also emerged as a …

Resilience and Transitions From Dementia Caregiving
Longitudinal studies have documented how dementia caregivers adapt to their role. Less is known about how resilience (defined as lower or higher perceived burden in the face of frequent care demands) affects key dementia caregiving outcomes. The present study utilized data from 1,979 dementia caregivers over a 3-year period to ascertain whether resilience influences transitions from dementia caregiving, such as institutionalization, care recipien…
Predictors of Institutionalization of Cognitively Impaired Elders
Although predictors of nursing home placement have attracted a good deal of attention in gerontological research, the type and amount of family assistance offered to caregivers prior to institutionalization has not been extensively examined. This study analyzed the impact of family help on the timing of placement among cognitively impaired care recipients. Using longitudinal data from the Adult Day Care Collaborative Study, an event-history analy…

Family-Based Intervention in Residential Long-Term Care
Family care for older adults is often conceptualized as a 'career,' and one of the key transitions that may occur during the course of caregiving is the placement of an older relative in a residential long-term care facility (most commonly a nursing home). This literature review critiques and synthesizes existing intervention strategies designed to promote family involvement following institutionalization. In particular, two types of family-based…
