Self-efficacy as a mediator between dementia knowledge and screening intention among American Indian adults
Findings underscore self-efficacy as a critical mechanism through which dementia knowledge translates into ADRD screening intention in American Indian communities. Interventions to promote early ADRD detection could enhance both knowledge and individual confidence. Future research should include more diverse groups within American Indian communities to identify common and unique dynamics among knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening intention, informing effective intervention strategies to reduce stigma and confidence in seeking timely ADRD screening.
