Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Related to Dementia Prevention and Caregiving Among Korean Americans (the KIMCHI Project): Pre- and Posttest Evaluation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many Korean American older adults have limited English proficiency, have low socioeconomic status, and are immigrants. The availability and accessibility of linguistic and culturally appropriate dementia-related health care and caregiving resources for this population are limited. This is concerning given that Korean American older adults are a rapidly growing population, and Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) represent a significant public health issue.

Objective

We aimed to assess changes in pre- and posttest knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding ADRD prevention and caregiving among participants in the Koreans Invested in Making Caregivers' Health Important (KIMCHI) before and after their participation in KIMCHI workshop presentations.
