Cultural Adaptation of an Innovative Reproductive Health Assessment Tool for Dementia Research in Africa: Insights from the Fember‐Africa Study
The Fember-Africa study aims to bridge a critical gap in understanding sex- and gender-specific differences in Africa, shedding light on the disproportionately higher prevalence of dementia among women of African ancestry. Through the culturally sensitive adaptation of reproductive health assessment tool, the study seeks to generate valuable insights that can inform the prevention and management of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in this underrepresented population.
