Successful Recruitment of Vietnamese Americans into the Asian Cohort for Alzheimer’s Disease (ACAD) Pilot Study at UC San Diego

Vietnamese Americans represent the 4th largest Asian American population in the United States with about 2.3 million people nationwide, yet research and literature on the recruitment of Vietnamese Americans in dementia research is limited. In addition to the cultural/linguistic barriers, the lack of Vietnamese language recruitment materials and cognitive assessments has made it difficult to enroll this underserved population into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research.
