An online vignette study of diagnostic testing: Racial and ethnic differences in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis confidence and stigma
Confidence in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis varies across racial groups.Within racial groups, AD diagnosis confidence differs with diagnostics.Even with cutting-edge biomarker testing, no racial group had 100% confidence in an AD diagnosis.Patient-centered care and systemic changes are needed to widen distribution of diagnostic technologies and improve access to care.
