Understanding the concept of trust and other factors related to Covid-19 vaccine intentions among Black/African American older adults prior to vaccine development
Background: Black/African Americans are receiving COVID-19 vaccines at much lower rates than whites. However, research is still evolving that explains why these vaccination rates are lower. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the pandemic among older Black/African Americans, with an emphasis on trust and vaccine intention prior to vaccine development. Methods: Data were collected between July and September 2020 from 8 virtual focu…
The Interactive Effects of Education and Social Support on Cognition in African Americans
Objectives: This study examines whether the effects of receiving and providing social support on cognition differ by education. Methods: Data from 602 African American adults (48-95 years) enrolled in the Baltimore Study of Black Aging-Patterns of Cognitive Aging were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: We found no main effects of receiving or providing social support on global cognition. Main effects for receiving or providing so…
The Relationship Between Financial Decision-Making and Financial Exploitation in Older Black Adults
Objectives: This study examined the relationship between contextual measure of financial decision-making and the financial exploitation experiences of older Blacks, and the convergent validity of mental health measures of contextual decision-making items. Methods: This cross-sectional study of 104 older Black adults included 52 cases of confirmed financial exploitation. Participants were matched on age and gender. Bivariate and multivariate analy…

Earning the Trust of African American Communities to Increase Representation in Dementia Research
Black/African American populations are underrepresented as participants in dementia research. A major barrier to participation of African American older adults in dementia research is a tendency to distrust research institutions owing to both historical and contemporary racism. Building on the Ford framework, the objective of our study was to examine factors that influence participation in dementia research among African American older adults and…
Building and Sustaining a Community Advisory Board of African American Older Adults as the Foundation for Volunteer Research Recruitment and Retention in Health Sciences
Older African Americans' participation in health-related research is severely limited; they are not involved in sufficient numbers to ensure the applicability of advancements in medical and behavioral health. This research participation gap exacerbates older African Americans' vulnerability to poor health outcomes and disparities. The Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research employs a progressive community-based participatory mod…
Financial exploitation, financial capacity, and Alzheimer’s disease
Research in the past decade has documented that financial exploitation of older adults has become a major problem, and psychology is only recently increasing its presence in efforts to reduce exploitation. During the same time period, psychology has been a leader in setting best practices for the assessment of diminished capacity in older adults culminating in the 2008 American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging and American Psychologica…
Does Brain Reserve Protect Older Women from Vascular Depression
Brain reserve, characterized by educational attainment, may counterbalance the effect of high CVB with respect to depressive symptoms, thereby preserving mood in late life. These findings support the application of brain reserve theory to late-life depression

Normative Health Research Experiences Among African American Elders
Findings underscore the importance of addressing economic, educational, and trust barriers to research participation as well as the importance of conveying a sense of caring for the health of individuals and the community as a whole
Disease and Depression in Older Medical Patients
It was hypothesized that those with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus would likely have higher prevalence rates of self-reported depressive symptoms than those diagnosed with nonsystemic diseases in part due to the disability conferred by their diagnosis. Analysis indicated partial support, although, other factors may moderate this relationship
The Relationship between Depression and Cognition in Older Adults
The relationship between depression and cognition in older adults has become a topic of extensive research and clinical interest. Results of previous research are limited, however, by sampling and methodological problems. Small sample sizes and the treatment of depression as a dichotomous variable may be major factors that limit data interpretation in previous studies. The present sample of 220 geriatric medical patients was split into a validati…
Extended Normative Data for the Logical Memory Subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale—Revised
66 cognitively intact geriatric medical patients (ages 70 to 99; M = 77 yr.) were given the Logical Memory subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised to extend normative data. 43 women and 23 men, 35 white and 31 black persons made up this urban geriatric sample. A review of patients' medical histories and Mattis' Dementia Rating scores of 129 or greater were used to ensure a sample of cognitively intact patients. Analyses showed that Logical…
Comparison of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Geriatric Depression Scale
The present longitudinal prospective study compared results from the Geriatric Depression Scale with those from the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for 30 dementia patients. The criterion measure was presence of depression as indicated by the psychiatric diagnosis. The psychiatrist and physician's assistant made the Hamilton ratings while the psychology staff administered the Geriatric Depression Scale. The two measures were statistically unrela…

Remembering Becky
Little is known about the unique experiences of the young widower. This narrative recounts my four-year experience with grief-from its shattering pain to its healing-when I lost my wife to death at age twenty-five. Underlying the story are several aspects of grief unique to young adults. Young adults typically have limited experience with loss. This lack of experience coupled with the cultural recognition of youth as a symbol of vitality makes gr…
