Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Memory loss significantly impacts quality of life, necessitating professional care.
  • Cultural, social, and personal factors influence care-seeking decisions among Latino/a/e/x individuals.
  • Understanding these motivations is key for effective interventions and outreach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore motivations for seeking memory care among diverse Latino/a/e/x individuals in the US.
  • To identify unique challenges faced by this population.
  • To develop tailored strategies for encouraging timely memory care access.

Main Methods:

  • A validated 47-item survey was administered to Latino/a/e/x adults (18+) in the US and Puerto Rico (2021-2024).
  • The survey assessed dementia knowledge and theory of planned behavior domains (beliefs, perceived control).
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and multinomial logistic regression.

Main Results:

  • 1,019 Latino/a/e/x individuals completed the survey; 74% were women, average age 46.2.
  • 70% were very/extremely likely to see a doctor for routine-affecting memory problems.
  • Intention to seek care correlated with age, confidence in diagnosis, importance of knowing the cause, family approval, and ease of seeking help.

Conclusions:

  • Age, family approval, and the desire to know the cause of symptoms are key drivers for Latino/a/e/x individuals seeking memory care.
  • Future research should focus on factors influencing ease of access to memory care services.
  • Inclusion of access factors in standard care may incentivize timely healthcare seeking.
