The Neighborhoods Study: Resource for Researchers

This video collection is intended for researchers, sites, and collaborators of The Neighborhoods Study: Contextual Disadvantage and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The Neighborhoods Study is supported by the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number R01AG070883 (mPI: Kind, Bendlin).

Questions may be directed to the study team at UW–Madison, the coordinating site for the study, at chdr_grants@med.wisc.edu.

ABOUT THE STUDY

Through this study we hope to learn whether health measures related to Alzheimer’s Disease differ between people who have lived in neighborhoods with fewer resources and those who have lived in neighborhoods with more resources.

By leveraging data within 22 Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers (ADRCs) across the U.S. this project is conducting the largest study of its kind on social determinants of health in the context of AD.

The project will develop a novel collaborative infrastructure of contextual exposure for future social-biological phenotypic evaluation—a potential pathway to new therapeutics directly responsive to the NIA mission.
