Abstract Hospice delivers care to a substantial and growing number of individuals with primary and comorbid dementia diagnoses. Dementia diagnosis and racial/ethnic minority status are risk factors for hospice disenrollment. However, little research examines racial/ethnic disparities and other risk factors for hospice disenrollment among hospice patients with dementia. This paper uses multinomial logistic regression to explore sociodemographic and functional status risk factors for hospice disenrollment among 3,949 home hospice recipients with primary or comorbid dementia. Results indicate that patients with a primary dementia diagnosis, racial/ethnic minority groups, and those higher functional status have elevated risk of disenrollment due to hospitalization, disqualification, and electively leaving hospice care. Additional research is needed to understand why primary dementia diagnosis and underrepresented racial/ethnic status are associated with multiple kinds of hospice disenrollment so that hospice practice can be tailored to respond to the needs of these individuals.

Research has identified a broad range of risk factors during early childhood that have neurobiological consequences and negatively affect children’s mental health. Such risk factors disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minority youth. Disparities in children’s mental health service use have also been documented for minority youth. Yet, compared with the focus on strategies to address health disparities (including men­tal health disparities) during adulthood, very little work has concentrated on addressing the roots of health disparities that occur in childhood. The purpose of this commentary is to describe the development and dissemi­nation of a policy brief for policy advocates. The goal of this work is to help achieve the implementation of evidence-based programs, practices, and policies that target and modify risk factors to reduce disparities in child mental health burden.

Racial And Ethnic Minority

IntroductionAvailable evidence suggests that some racial/ethnic minority populations may be disproportionately burdened by dementia. Cohort studies are an important tool for defining and understanding the causes behind these racial and ethnic inequalities. However, ethnic minority populations may be more likely to be excluded from such research. Therefore, the aim of this study is to systematically investigate and quantify racial and ethnic minority representation in dementia risk factor research.Methods and analysisThe elements of this protocol have been designed in accordance with the relevant sections of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols which are specifically applicable to scoping review protocols. We will include population-based cohort studies looking at risk factors for dementia incidence in our review and assess the representation of racial and ethnic minority populations in these studies. We will use multiple strategies to identify relevant studies, including a systematic search of the following electronic databases: MEDLINE (Ovid SP), Embase (Ovid SP) and Scopus. Two review authors will independently perform title and abstract screening, full-text screening and data extraction. Included cohort studies will be evaluated using a comprehensive framework to assess racial/ethnic minority representation. Logistic regression will also be performed to describe associations between cohort study characteristics and outcomes related to racial and ethnic minority representation.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethical approval is not required to conduct this review as no primary data are to be collected. The final results of this scoping review will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.

Objectives: As the United States (U.S.) population rapidly ages, the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRDs) is rising, with racial/ethnic minorities affected at disproportionate rates. Much research has been undertaken to test, sequence, and analyze genetic risk factors for ADRDs in Caucasian populations, but comparatively little has been done with racial/ethnic minority populations. We conducted a scoping review to examine the nature and extent of the research that has been published about the genetic factors of ADRDs among racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S.Design: Using an established scoping review methodological framework, we searched electronic databases for articles describing peer-reviewed empirical studies or Genome-Wide Association Studies that had been published 2005–2018 and focused on ADRD-related genes or genetic factors among underrepresented racial/ethnic minority population in the U.S.Results: Sixty-six articles met the inclusion criteria for full text review. Well-established ADRD genetic risk factors for Caucasian populations including APOE, APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 have not been studied to the same degree in minority U.S. populations. Compared to the amount of research that has been conducted with Caucasian populations in the U.S., racial/ethnic minority communities are underrepresented.Conclusion: Given the projected growth of the aging population and incidence of ADRDs, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities, increased focus on this important segment of the population is warranted. Our review can aid researchers in developing fundamental research questions to determine the role that ADRD risk genes play in the heavier burden of ADRDs in racial/ethnic minority populations.
