研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the knowledge of parents and children with respect to dementia symptoms, risk factors, and response before and after an interactive dementia education program that uses music and dance to enhance a health education curriculum at 1-week and 3-months after the intervention.
详细描述
Public awareness of cardinal Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms remains low. Adults often underestimate personal dementia risk; minority populations are more likely to have low dementia literacy and be unaware of it. Cultural dementia belief in minority groups are complex and pose barriers to diagnosis, with dementia symptoms being considered a part of normal aging, or that discussion may be taboo even when recognized. A key barrier to timely AD diagnosis in African Americans is delayed physician contact, often years-long, following the onset of first symptoms. Despite studies demonstrating that dementia concepts first develop in elementary school periods, apart from our work, no dementia awareness programs focus on children. This intervention therefore addresses a major gap regarding optimal approaches for shifting cultural perceptions of dementia in low-income minority populations and reducing barriers to its timely diagnosis.
All R01 aims have been completed in this study.

主要结局
OSHH Program Effectiveness of Educating Parents at 1-week and 3-months After the Intervention Using ASK-AD 7
时间窗: Baseline (1 week up to 15 weeks prior to Intervention Day 1), 1-week post-intervention (1 week up to 13 weeks post-Intervention Day 3, but always before 3-month intervention), and 3-months post-intervention (10 to 24 weeks post-intervention Day 1)
OSHH Program effectiveness of educating parents at 1-week post and 3-months post intervention using a 7-item scale: ASK-AD 7 (Assess Symptoms and Knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease - 7 Questions). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 7. Higher scores indicate greater number of questions answered correctly, indicating a better outcome.
次要结局
