Addressing Digital Disparities in Alzheimer Disease by Improving Access to Alzheimer Resources for Spanish-Speaking Latino or Latina Individuals in Los Angeles County: Mixed Methods Study
Our study highlights structural barriers hindering access to digital AD prevention and care resources tailored to the needs and values of Latino and Hispanic communities living in Los Angeles County. The findings emphasize the need to bridge the digital gap by incorporating user-friendly features and culturally and linguistically responsive elements in website design and implementation. This approach will move our field toward equitable access to digital ADRD prevention and care resources by mitigating structural barriers that sustain ADRD disparities in Latino and Hispanic communities.
