Study Details

Improving Dementia Care with Hispanic/Latino Communities

(IRB#: IRB_00177351)

Dementia is a disease that affects a persons memory, behavior, and movement. This study will co-design a Spanish-language advanced care planning (ACP) intervention for Hispanic/Latino people living with dementia and their care partners. The study will then test the impact of the intervention on Spanish-speaking Hispanic/Latino people living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. The participants who co-design the intervention will meet in groups on Zoom (a way to meet using technology such as a computer). Being in this part of the study requires meeting about 8 times over about 3 years. The study will then test the co-designed Spanish/Latino Alzheimer's disease or related dementia intervention with the specific population.
