Background: Increasing underrepresented racial and ethnic minority group (URG) participation in early-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research is critical to inclusive characterization of underlying pathology and testing of disease-modifying treatments. One promising recruitment strategy to accelerate URG participation is for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to facilitate referrals. The use of HCP-facilitated recruitment strategies across the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) network, a major referral source for ADRD multisite observational and clinical trials, has not been examined.

- * The paper emphasizes the importance of addressing disparities like ageism and stigma, especially for minoritized communities, while providing examples of how PPI can be integrated throughout the research process.
- * Recommendations for researchers include fostering collaborative relationships with communities, starting partnerships early, and ensuring that factors like choice, respect, and inclusion are prioritized.
Alkylated benzothienobenzothiophenes are an important class of organic semiconductors that exhibit high performance in solution-processed organic field-effect transistors. In this work, we study the near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra of 2,7-didecyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C10-BTBT) at both the carbon and sulfur K-edges. Angle-resolved experiments of thin films are performed to characterize the dichroism associated with molecular orientation.

Obesity is a global epidemic affecting a broad range of individuals, regardless of economic and social strata. In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 16 % of adults and 160 million children were living with this condition. The economic impact is significant, with a recent Milken report estimating the annual cost of obesity in the US at 1.

Objective: Compare referral sources across racial and ethnic groups among participants enrolled in ADRC studies.
Methods: Data for this cross-sectional secondary analysis were extracted from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set.
