Walter O. Bockting, PhD - Principal Investigator

Minority stress and related health disparities may increase the risk for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) among minority populations, while social support has the potential to be protective. This study will examine the role of minority stress, social network characteristics, along with other resources and wellbeing, in the development of cognitive reserve and resilience. Findings will inform the development and testing of future, tailored interventions to prevent cognitive decline and ADRD.
