Webinar: Aging Through Traumatic Stress: Analyzing the Effects of Traumatic Stress and Race on Alzheimer’s Disease
July 28, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm EDT
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
