| Bleakley authors new study | Bleakley authors new study | | 11/11/2022 5:00:00 AM | | <p><strong>Amy Bleakley</strong>, professor of communication, is the first author of a
new study conducted by researchers from UD and the University of
Pennsylvania in 2020 to identify and understand beliefs that may
influence decisions to join an Alzheimer’s disease research registry.
The results were published in the <em><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35811525/">Journal of Alzheimer’s Research</a></em>
in August 2022. The rate of Alzheimer’s disease is higher among African
Americans and Hispanics than it is for white non-Hispanic adults.
Despite the higher risk, underrepresented groups are less likely to
enroll in Alzheimer’s research. The study was part of a larger project
funded by the National Institute on Aging to increase diversity in
recruitment registries that feed into Alzheimer’s prevention research.
The team includes researchers from UD, Banner’s Alzheimer’s Institute,
the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California at San
Francisco. Findings indicated there were fewer racial and ethnic
differences in beliefs about joining a registry than initially
anticipated, and the results informed additional data collection efforts
with the goal of designing effective recruitment messages.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=253 | |

The increased use of video-mediated communication (VMC) due
to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread acceptance of mediated
healthcare appointments. Mental health care is one area in which
researchers might examine the effects of VMC. This study employed an
experiment to test the relative influence of video therapists’ eye
contact and gesture on a patient. The results contribute to
understanding how nonverbal cues impact health outcomes in VMC.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=245 | |
