Background: Over the past 3 years, the Global Council on Alzheimer’s Disease (GCAD) has conducted research on lived experience and care partner journeys. Specifically, this research has focused on the experiences of individuals from historically underrepresented populations, including LGBTQ+, Black, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian communities. The goal has been to identify how these journeys might diverge across communities, understand various nuances that exist across cultures, and recognize the impact these might have on seeking diagnosis, care, and support.

Background: As the landscape of ADRD diagnoses evolves to include biomarker testing, there is a pressing need to understand the unique experiences, challenges, and support needs of families undergoing evaluations of cognitive decline, particularly in a manner that prioritizes cultural considerations from voices historically underrepresented in ADRD research. The current study aims to understand the AD biomarker disclosure journey of persons from underrepresented groups with the goal of informing culturally responsive approaches to the care of patients and their families navigating the complexities of ADRD diagnoses.
Method: Virtual focus groups are being conducted over a secure video conferencing platform, with a trained facilitator guiding the discussion.

Introduction: Women typically experience more intense stress related to infertility compared to men, which is partly connected to the importance that motherhood and parenthood have for women in most societies.

Method: The study employs a social constructionist framework to explore how women facing infertility construct their notions of their first IVF treatment.
