Predictors of Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Optimism Among a Nationally Representative Sample of Older Adults

Findings from this nationally representative survey suggest high overall levels of treatment optimism among US older adults, with treatment optimism significantly differing by age, health status, and household income. Future research is needed to determine how older adults' treatment optimism changes in the face of improved therapies and influences their engagement in emerging AD screening and therapeutic options.

Abstract

Findings from this nationally representative survey suggest high overall levels of treatment optimism among US older adults, with treatment optimism significantly differing by age, health status, and household income. Future research is needed to determine how older adults' treatment optimism changes in the face of improved therapies and influences their engagement in emerging AD screening and therapeutic options.
