A Virtual Photovoice Study of Older African Americans Perceptions of Neurovascular Clinical Trials.
Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders 2023 March 14
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer disease (AD) poses a major public health crisis, especially among African Americans (AAs) who are up to 3 times more likely to develop AD compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Moreover, cardiovascular risk factors represent a precursor to cognitive decline, which contributes to racial/ethnic disparities seen within AD. Despite these disparities, AAs are underrepresented in neurovascular research. The purpose of this qualitative virtual photovoice project is to explore how older Midwestern AAs perceive neurovascular clinical trials.
METHODS: Five photovoice sessions were held virtually over a 3-month period. Participants took photos each week that captured the salient features of their environment that described their perceptions and experiences related to neurovascular clinical trials. Structured discussion using the SHOWED method was used to generate new understandings about the perspectives and experiences in neurovascular clinical trials. Data was analyzed using strategies in participatory visual research.
RESULTS: A total of 10 AAs aged 55 years and older participated and a total of 6 themes emerged from the photovoice group discussions.
CONCLUSION: Findings from this study inform the development of culturally appropriate research protocols and effective recruitment strategies to enhance participation among older AAs in neurovascular clinical trials.
