Project

The goals of this study are to identify the unmet needs that drive Black and Latino PLWD to experience potentially avoidable NH placements at greater rates than their White counterparts using an exploratory sequential mixed methods research design, and to translate preliminary findings onto the public agenda as a policy issue. This work will inform intervention and policy development aimed at filling gaps in needs significant to Black and Latino PLWD’s ability to remain in the community for their long-term care as long as possible.
