Asian American and Pacific Islanders’ Attitudes on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias

Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are the fastest growing minority population in the United States. While 14% of older AAPIs have been reported to experience memory loss and confusion, the prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the AAPI population are not well understood. Moreover, little is known about AAPI attitudes on memory loss and confidence in managing ADRD.
