Researchers at the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging are looking for families with African American individuals either living with dementia and/or caring for a loved one with dementia to participate in virtual focus groups to help us adapt the SHARE for Dementia Program for families within the African American community.

Participants will review program materials and take part in a moderated focus group lasting about 90 minutes. They will receive $25 for their time.

If you are interested in participating, contact Donna Salaam at [email protected] or (216) 373-1747.
