"We hope researchers will realize that #AANHPI communities do want to engage in research if you outreach in the language that they speak in the communities they live" Dr. Van Park discussed @care_registry and ACAD in a roundtable with @UrbanHealthNow urbanhealthtoday.com/post/engaging-…
Remember how we published a paper last year in @alzdemjournals discussing how ACAD was formed to address the lack of diversity in #alzresearch ? Read our interview with Pei-Chuan Ho, PhD to discuss that landmark paper and what we plan to do next! acadstudy.org/our-progress-a…
TOMORROW! Our very own Dr. Van Ta Park will be discussing ACAD and other efforts to increase equity in #dementia research with @Being_Patient_ Register below! beingpatient.com/event/dr-van-t…
ACAD wishes you and your family a beautiful Thanksgiving! 🦃 🍁
Our most recent in-person meeting in Philly was a huge success! We are excited to share more developments with you over the next year #alzresearch

We hit 1,000! We are proud of the overwhelming response and support from Asian Americans and Asian Canadians. This milestone reflects the confidence placed in our mission and underscores the commitment of our community to advance research of #Alzheimers disease
Understand the risks to prevent Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. @alzassociation 🧠💡 See #Alzheimers Disease Factors and Figures Special Report to learn more about risk factors and ADRD: alz.org/media/Document…
Did you know millions of Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias (ADRD)? As the U.S. older adult population continues to grow, so will the number and proportion of Americans with ADRD @alzassociation To learn more, please visit: alz.org/media/Document…
From the ACAD team, We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous #LunarNewYear 🐉
