Population Studies: Exposome studies and health disparities (Milestone 1.P)
In Progress
Timeline Start - End
2024 - 2025Research Implementation Area
Population Studies and Precision MedicineExpand current efforts to address health disparities research questions relevant to AD/ADRD by leveraging new and existing exposome AD/ADRD studies, including the impact of institutional and policy-level drivers of health inequities in AD/ADRD risk (i.e., factors categorized as forms of structural racism).
Success Criteria
- Develop and promote practical and effective ways to improve population-representativeness of AD/ADRD research resources, ensuring wide-spread inclusivity across all groups, including NIH-designated priority populations (including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, nativity, gender, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status).
- Ensure that AD/ADRD research resources include the collection of data relevant to addressing health disparities research questions relevant to AD/ADRD.
Summary of Key Accomplishments
