Article Synopsis
- - Alzheimer's disease research registries are vital for finding participants, but enrollment is low among at-risk racial and ethnic groups.
- - This study uses the Reasoned Action Approach to develop persuasive recruitment messages that target underrepresented groups, with survey data collected from 1,501 adults aged 50-80.
- - Findings show that attitudes are key motivators for signing up, while social norms and perceived capacity vary among groups, suggesting that tailored messages highlighting societal benefits could boost participation.
The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Administrative Core oversees and coordinates all ADNI activities, to ensure the success and maximize the impact of ADNI in advancing Alzheimer's disease (AD) research and clinical trials. It manages finances and develops policies for data sharing, publications using ADNI data, and access to ADNI biospecimens. The Core develops and executes pilot projects to guide future ADNI activities and identifies key innovative methods for inclusion in ADNI.

Methods: Participants were recruited using digital advertising and completed digital surveys (e.g.
Background: Unsupervised online cognitive assessments have demonstrated promise as an efficient and scalable approach for evaluating cognition in aging, and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and construct validity of the Paired Associates Learning task from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery® in adults enrolled in the Brain Health Registry.
Design, Setting, Participants, Measurements: The Paired Associates Learning task was administered to Brain Health Registry participants in a remote, unsupervised, online setting.
Introduction: Remote, internet-based methods for recruitment, screening, and longitudinally assessing older adults have the potential to facilitate Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials and observational studies.
Methods: The Brain Health Registry (BHR) is an online registry that includes longitudinal assessments including self- and study partner-report questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. New initiatives aim to increase inclusion and engagement of commonly underincluded communities using digital, community-engaged research strategies.
