Comparative Analysis of Dementia Knowledge Among Latinos with Family or Friends Diagnosed with Memory‐Affecting Conditions: A cross‐sectional Study
Latinos/as/es/xs with a personal connection to memory-affecting conditions were less likely to believe that doctors could provide useful medications or training for families. These findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions and improving access to high-quality healthcare services to ensure timely diag nosis and effective care for those affected by ADRD within the Latino/a/e/x community.
