Recent studies have found that African Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, and Hispanic/Latinx one and a half times more likely. Studies are now exploring the risk factors which may contribute to these findings, including healthcare disparities and race-based traumatic stress. This Webinar will explore:

• Racial disparities among Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in the Alzheimer’s community
• The role of traumatic stress in the lives of older adults
• The intersectionality of race and trauma
• The correlation between racial traumatic stress and dementia
• The need for additional research to also assist in developing assessment tools and clinical interventions
