Ladson Hinton, MD, is a geriatric psychiatrist, clinical and services researcher, and social scientist. Over the past two decades, Dr Hinton has conducted interdisciplinary research using both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand cultural and social dimensions of family caregiving for older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease.
