Assessing the Impact of Patient-Provider Interactions on the Cardiovascular and Cognitive Health of Aging Adults - The adverse effects of poor treatment in healthcare settings on cognitive impairment are poorly understood, particularly among aging Americans. My F99 research established an association between these experiences and adverse cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular events are themselves known risk factors for cognitive decline. Building on this foundation, my K00 research will investigate the longitudinal impact of poor treatment in the healthcare settings on cognitive impairment and incident Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research will leverage longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to test my central hypothesis that poor treatment in healthcare settings increases AD/ADRD risk and risk of cognitive impairment among aging adults. To evaluate this, the K00 research phase will use rigorous statistical methods, including survival analysis to estimate the impact of patient-provider interactions on incident AD/ADRD and longitudinal models to examine how trajectories of cognitive impairment are associated with these experiences over time. To achieve these research goals and facilitate my transition to independence, I will undertake a structured, mentored training program at Johns Hopkins University under the guidance of my primary mentor, Dr. Roland J. Thorpe, Jr.. This plan is designed to help me acquire foundational knowledge in the determinants of cognitive impairment, develop expertise in advanced longitudinal data analysis, and cultivate the leadership capabilities essential for an interdisciplinary research career. The findings from this K00 project will provide preliminary data for a subsequent career development award application, such as a K99/R00 or K01, which I plan to develop during the award period. This research and training trajectory is crucial for my overarching career objective to become a leading researcher focused on barriers to care that impact the cognitive health of aging Americans and aligns directly with the NIA's mission to understand and improve healthcare quality while aging.
