阿尔茨海默病和其他与痴呆症相关的疾病正以惊人的速度影响着非裔美国人社区。传统上，非裔美国人教堂一直是家庭寻求支持的避难所。然而，许多教会缺乏项目或资源来支持受痴呆症影响的家庭。作为回应，一个由护士领导的跨学科合作组织与教堂合作，通过教育提高人们对痴呆症的认识。本分析的目的是(a)描述非洲裔美国人信仰社区寻求痴呆症教育的人口统计数据；(b)确定痴呆症社区资源的先验知识；(c)确定所提供教育的初步有用性。在16个月的时间里，202人参加了由亚特兰大大都会的5个教会主办的9次教育课程。定量调查用于收集人口统计资料和评估教育课程。大多数参与者是非裔美国成年人（91%），女性（75%），不了解痴呆症资源（66%）。一些与会者认为自己是教会领袖、社区/教会成员、护理人员和/或医疗保健专业人员。与会者表示，教育内容适用于他们自己或他们的家庭。结果有助于确定改变和/或加强教育内容的方法，并为发展与文化相关的、基于信仰的社区项目提供指导。
Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related disorders are affecting the African-American community at alarming rates. African-American churches have traditionally been places of refuge where families go for support. However, many churches lack programs or resources to support families affected by dementia. In response, a nurse-led interdisciplinary collaborative partnered with churches to promote dementia awareness through education. The purpose of this analysis was to (a) describe the demographics of those seeking dementia education in African-American faith communities; (b) identify prior knowledge of dementia community resources; and (c) determine the preliminary usefulness of the education provided. Over the course of 16 months, 202 individuals attended nine educational sessions hosted by five churches across metropolitan Atlanta. Quantitative surveys were used to collect demographics and evaluate the educational sessions. The majority of attendees were African-American adults (91%), women (75%), and unaware of dementia resources (66%). Several attendees identified themselves as church leaders, community/church members, caregivers, and/or healthcare professionals. Attendees expressed the educational content was applicable to themselves or their families. Results help identify ways to alter and/or strengthen the educational content and serve as a guide for developing culturally relevant, faith-based community programs.
