Abstract:
Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) create significant burdens for informal caregivers, with previous studies indicating higher strain among Black caregivers due to socioeconomic disparities. This study analyzed ten years of online posts by White and Black informal ADRD caregivers on ALZConnected. Although Black caregivers differed demographically, no significant differences in discussion topics or readability emerged after demographic adjustments, suggesting shared caregiving experiences.
