The Digital Clock and Recall is More Equitable and Less Biased than the Mini‐Mental State Examination in Terms of Ethnicity

Given the higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and greater risk of dementia in ethnic minorities (with Hispanics forming the largest minority group), the deployment of less biased assessments such as the DCR is important for more equitable cognitive screening.
