Bio
Lauren Parker, PhD, is an assistant scientist in the Department of Health, Behavior and Society. Her research examines how home-and-community based supports can be used to address the cultural needs of African American and Hispanic caregivers for people living with dementia. With funding from the NIA, she examines the influence of adult day services (ADS) on physiological and psychosocial stressors for African American caregivers. This line of research integrates biological and psychosocial indicators of stress. Another area of scholarly interest is to disseminate and implement culturally tailored stress-reduction interventions into real world settings. Dr. Parker is the co-investigator on two NIA- funded research studies to culturally adapt the ADS Plus program for Hispanic and African American caregivers and she serves on the Leadership Core of Public Health Center of Excellence in Dementia Caregiving at the University of Minnesota.
