Nine Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) sites were surveyed to identify barriers to recruiting black subjects. Major cited obstacles were expenses, transportation difficulties, and especially lack of rapport with clinic staff. Major factors in overcoming these barriers are a good referral network involving the black community, community education about Alzheimer's disease (AD), and professional staff who are particularly sensitive to the needs of the black population. CERAD efforts to increase community awareness of Alzheimer's disease and staff sensitivity to minority needs have nearly doubled the proportion of black subjects enrolled.
对九个阿尔茨海默病注册中心（CERAD）进行了调查，以确定招募黑人受试者的障碍。主要提到的障碍包括费用、交通困难，尤其是与诊所工作人员缺乏融洽关系。克服这些障碍的主要因素包括涉及黑人社区的良好转诊网络、关于阿尔茨海默病（AD）的社区教育，以及对黑人人口需求特别敏感的专业工作人员。CERAD提高社区对阿尔茨海默病的认识以及工作人员对少数群体需求的敏感度的努力，使登记在册的黑人受试者比例几乎翻了一番。
