Public Health.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) place enormous burdens on families, care partners, and the public programs that finance ADRD services. Caregiving is disproportionately provided by women, individuals of low socioeconomic status, and underserved minority populations, who also rely upon informal care and support. National dementia strategies rarely address the needs of care partners.

Public Health.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) place substantial burdens on care partners. The need to better support ADRD care partners through policy actions is high, specifically to enhance existing services and reduce inequities experienced by historically underserved communities.

Method: Between July and September 2023, a modified Delphi process was employed to determine policy and program priorities for supporting Oregon-based care partners.

Public Health.

Background: The wellbeing of over 11 million care partners of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the United States is increasingly recognized as a public health priority. Addressing care partners' needs for support and services is particularly important, as care partner burden is associated with negative health outcomes in care partners and people living with ADRD. Care partners from marginalized populations experience inequities in research participation, care burden, and access to supports and services.

Organizational Determinants to Hypertension Management: Adapting a Health Equity Framework to Examine Processes at Two Academic Health Systems.

Background: Hypertension management is a national priority. However, hypertension control rates are suboptimal and vary across clinics, even among those in the same health system and geographic region.

Objective: To identify organizational barriers and facilitators that impact hypertension management at the provider, clinic, and health system level.
