Using Community Engagement Studios to Increase Recruitment and Retention of Under‐Resourced Participants in Aging Research

As the population ages in the United States, the prevalence of many diseases like Alzheimer disease, related dementias, and Parkinson disease disproportionately affect those already at greatest risk for premature morbidity and mortality. Aging research has an opportunity to engage and support patients, communities, and caregivers most impacted by these diseases. However, under‐resourced communities frequently lack representation in research, causing decreased generalizability of study results and health inequities among these communities.
