Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The RAAISE-D Framework successfully doubled Black adult enrollment in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research by using community-first strategies. This adaptable framework accelerates participation for underrepresented groups in ADRD studies.
Area Of Science
- Neuroscience
- Public Health
- Gerontology
Background
- Over 2 million older Americans from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups (URGs) have early-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
- Scalable recruitment strategies are lacking, especially for Black older adults, hindering participation in ADRD research.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and implement community-first recruitment strategies to accelerate the participation of Black older adults in ADRD research.
- To introduce the RAAISE-D Framework as an adaptable model for URG recruitment in ADRD research.
Main Methods
- The Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (IADRC) partnered with its Community Advisory Board (CAB) to create the RAAISE-D Framework.
- Community-first recruitment strategies were developed and implemented based on the RAAISE-D Framework.
Main Results
- Black adult enrollment in the IADRC doubled from April 2020 to April 2024 (46, 13.4% to 101, 26.9%).
- Black adults enrolled were more likely to have normal cognition, be female, and have ≤12 years of education compared to non-Hispanic White adults.
- The RAAISE-D Framework identified key concepts for URG-focused recruitment that accelerated enrollment and can be generalized.
Conclusions
- The RAAISE-D Framework provides adaptable recruitment strategies for URGs in ADRD research.
- A strong IADRC CAB-researcher partnership is foundational to this community-first methodology.
- The RAAISE-D Framework successfully doubled Black enrollment in ADRD research within four years.

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
