Health Equity Team (2019-2024)
Team Activities
The Health Equity Team (2019-2024) focused on developing and implementing strategies to address inclusion of people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners in the design and conduct of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs). The team works to improve dementia care while ensuring the IMPACT Collaboratory is a national resource for all Americans affected by dementia.
Team members developed and disseminated guidance and training materials related to high-risk, high-need populations, provided guidance to investigators, and integrated with Core working groups to address the needs of high-risk, high-need populations in Core research activities.
