Alzheimer's disease (AD) knowledge in Korean Americans: identifying knowledge gaps and misconceptions and examining predictors of AD knowledge.

Our findings revealed areas of misconceptions and knowledge gaps in KAs which need to be addressed in educational interventions. Different knowledge status across the domains demonstrates a multi-dimensional nature of AD knowledge. Multivariate findings confirmed the robust role of education in overall and domain AD knowledge. The effect of different AD stigmatic beliefs on certain AD knowledge domains suggests ways of how stigma change can be efficient for the purpose of increasing AD domain knowledge in KAs.
