LPs provide vital data on AD risk and progression and time specific information on efficacy for clinical interventions, yet few investigators include research LPs, for fear of clinical implications, lack of specialized clinicians, and perceived unwillingness of participants to consent to LPs, particularly in minoritized participants METHOD: Comprehensive data is collected on willingness to take part in LP, safety, and procedure specifics, including side effects. Twenty milliliters of CSF are obtained using fluid drip or aspiration methods.
