Older adults who are Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) represent one of the fastest growing populations in the United States and face a significant burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Little is known about ADRD among AAPI subgroups. The current study aimed to: (a) explore perceptions and beliefs of memory loss and dementia among Korean, Samoan, Cambodian, and Chinese older adults in the United States; and (b) identify culturally relevant facilitators and barriers of participation in a brain health program among four AAPI subgroups. Seven focus groups comprising 14 Cambodian, 21 Chinese, 14 Korean, and 13 Samoan older adults were conducted. Data were analyzed using inductive and indigenous coding approaches. Similar and unique perceptions and experiences related to memory loss were identified. Future research could include developing and testing culturally tailored and language congruent strategies regarding ADRD education and resources to facilitate ADRD early detection among AAPI older adults.
