The goal of ARCHES (Aging Research Characterizing Health Equity via Social determinants) is to examine the impact of depression, stress, and a novel, theory-derived SDOH composite index (SDOH-CI) on cognitive functioning in participants who are cognitively normal at baseline with/without preclinical AD. The support from the Alzheimer's Association will supplement the NIH funded project to obtain blood samples from study participants to evaluate AD biomarkers. Further, the funding will support Community Based System Dynamics workshops over the course of the study to evaluate the view of system changes over time.
