Research shows that even though African-Americans are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease, they are less likely to seek an early diagnosis. Consequently, the population tends to be diagnosed at a later stage of the disease process and requires more support services than those at an earlier stage. Adding to the complexity of this scenario is the reality that, even after diagnosis, African-Americans often have less access to the medications and treatments that can help someone with dementia, are less likely to receive health information, and are less likely to use formal support services than the general population.
Support for the Journey: A Conference for Caregivers of Loved Ones with Memory Loss will seek to address these disparities in access and care by providing attendees with education about Alzheimer’s disease, existing resources and available support services while simultaneously empowering them to become more effective caregivers.
