Levels and Correlates of Knowledge about Alzheimer’s Disease among Older Chinese Americans

Conclusions: AD educational programs should target domains (e.g., risk factors, symptoms, and caregiving) about which Chinese American elders tend to have less knowledge; AD information should be disseminated through appropriate media to outreach Chinese American elders more effectively. Addressing the biases in elders’ cultural beliefs of AD should be incorporated in AD educational programs.
