Awareness of Family Caregiver Resources and Alignment with Traditional Culture in a Midwest Tribal Nation in the United States
Family caregivers helping adults with functional needs, including older adults, can benefit from training, support groups, and other services. However, these resources are often underutilized. Caregiving is particularly common in Indigenous communities, but little is known about how Indigenous caregivers consider utilization of supportive resources. To guide efforts to increase utilization, this study sought to describe awareness and attitudes re…
Are knowledge and interpersonal contact cures for Alzheimer’s stigma? Data from caregivers offer clues
Research on caregivers suggests interpersonal contact with persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and higher disease-oriented knowledge may heighten AD stigma, though these same mechanisms are often employed in anti-stigma campaigns. If we better understand associations among caregiver experience, interpersonal contact, AD knowledge and AD stigma, we can develop improved ways of reducing stigma and avoid unintended consequences. In a factorial des…
Telomere Length and Cognitive Function Among Middle-Aged and Older Participants From Communities Underrepresented in Aging Research
ObjectiveAccelerated biological aging is a plausible and modifiable determinant of dementia burden facing minoritized communities but is not well-studied in these historically underrepresented populations. Our objective was to preliminarily characterize relationships between telomere length and cognitive health among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) and Black/African American (B/AA) middle-aged and older adults.MethodsThis study included dat…
Differences in Driving Outcomes Among Cognitively Normal African American and Caucasian Older Adults
Work Disability Among Native-born and Foreign-born Americans
Public debates about both immigration policy and social safety net programs are increasingly contentious. However, little research has explored differences in health within America’s diverse population of foreign-born workers, and the effect of these workers on public benefit programs is not well understood. We investigate differences in work disability by nativity and origins and describe the mix of health problems associated with receiving Soci…
Reliability of a Novel Social Activity Questionnaire
Social activity data demonstrate moderate to excellent temporal stability. Moreover, in older individuals, social support and verbal interaction represent two distinct dimensions of social activity
Stressful Events, Social Support, and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged Adults With a Family History of Alzheimer’s Disease
