Using concept mapping to identify recruitment and engagement strategies for inclusion of LGBTQIA+ populations in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia research
INTRODUCTION
Past Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research has not considered ways to ensure the representation of diverse sexual and gender minorities. This study used concept mapping (CM) to identify strategies for engaging and recruiting LGBTQIA+ older adults living with memory loss and their caregivers into ADRD research.
METHODS
CM, involving brainstorming, thematic analysis, and rating of strategies, was conducted with 46 members from one national and three local community advisory boards. Data was analyzed using The Concept Systems Global MAX™ web platform.
RESULTS
One hundred twenty-two solutions were identified from June through December 2022, and represented five key themes: aging focused, LGBTQIA+ specific, memory loss and caregiving support focused, physical advertisements, and other media. Promising strategies included partnering with LGBTQIA+ health centers, attending social groups for older adults, and increasing community representation in marketing.
DISCUSSION
Tailored strategies, building trust, and community involvement are essential for engaging LGBTQIA+ individuals living with memory loss or ADRD and their caregivers in ADRD-focused research.
Highlights
Innovative ways to ensure the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ older adults in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research can be bolstered through collaboration with key community stakeholders.
Promising strategies for recruitment and engagement include partnering with LGBTQIA+ centers, attending social groups for older adults, and ensuring diverse representation in marketing.
Tailored recruitment and engagement strategies are crucial for building trust with LGBTQIA+ populations to increase participation in ADRD research.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions (TRCI) is a peer-reviewed, open access,journal from the Alzheimer''s Association®. The journal seeks to bridge the full scope of explorations between basic research on drug discovery and clinical studies, validating putative therapies for aging-related chronic brain conditions that affect cognition, motor functions, and other behavioral or clinical symptoms associated with all forms dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish findings from diverse domains of research and disciplines to accelerate the conversion of abstract facts into practical knowledge: specifically, to translate what is learned at the bench into bedside applications. The journal seeks to publish articles that go beyond a singular emphasis on either basic drug discovery research or clinical research. Rather, an important theme of articles will be the linkages between and among the various discrete steps in the complex continuum of therapy development. For rapid communication among a multidisciplinary research audience involving the range of therapeutic interventions, TRCI will consider only original contributions that include feature length research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, narrative reviews, commentaries, letters, perspectives, and research news that would advance wide range of interventions to ameliorate symptoms or alter the progression of chronic neurocognitive disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer''s disease. The journal will publish on topics related to medicine, geriatrics, neuroscience, neurophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, bioinformatics, pharmaco-genetics, regulatory issues, health economics, pharmacoeconomics, and public health policy as these apply to preclinical and clinical research on therapeutics.
