Background: Latinx individuals bear a disproportionate burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), with higher risk, underdiagnosis, and limited access to quality care. Primary care providers (PCPs) are crucial for early detection and management, yet organizational and policy factors significantly impact their ability to provide culturally competent and equitable ADRD care for this community. This study explores PCP perspectives to inform the development of accessible models that improve early diagnosis, preventive care, and quality of life for Latinx individuals with ADRD.

Furthermore, historical systemic failures and disadvantages impacting Black dementia caregivers contribute to long-established stressors and vulnerabilities.
