"We hope researchers will realize that #AANHPI communities do want to engage in research if you outreach in the language that they speak in the communities they live"

Dr. Van Park discussed @care_registry and ACAD in a roundtable with @UrbanHealthNow

Remember how we published a paper last year in @alzdemjournals discussing how ACAD was formed to address the lack of diversity in #alzresearch ?

Read our interview with Pei-Chuan Ho, PhD to discuss that landmark paper and what we plan to do next!

Did you know millions of Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias (ADRD)? As the U.S. older adult population continues to grow, so will the number and proportion of Americans with ADRD @alzassociation
