Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Five themes emerged. Both older adults and adult children had partial knowledge of dementia and were able to list learning new things and social activities as cognitively stimulating activities. Both groups expressed strong interest in cognitive training, but were also concerned about transportation and language barriers. Both groups viewed promoting cognition as an advantage, and eyestrain and dementia-related stigma as disadvantages of mobile-based cognitive training. Adult children were eager to support their older parents, whereas older adults preferred to participate in training independently. Facilitators to participation included recommendations from healthcare professionals and having a peer support community. Discussion and The study provides new information on the perspectives of older Chinese Americans and adult children on cognitive training as an underpinning for codeveloping a culturally relevant, mobile-based cognitive training to promote cognitive health among this population.

Key findings

Both older adults and adult children had partial knowledge of dementia and were able to list learning new things and social activities as cognitively stimulating activities.
Both groups expressed strong interest in cognitive training, but were also concerned about transportation and language barriers.
Both groups viewed promoting cognition as an advantage, and eyestrain and dementia-related stigma as disadvantages of mobile-based cognitive training.
Adult children were eager to support their older parents, whereas older adults preferred to participate in training independently.
Facilitators to participation included recommendations from healthcare professionals and having a peer support community.

Why it matters

This qualitative study gathered perspectives from older Chinese Americans and their adult children on mobile-based cognitive training, finding strong interest but also concerns about transportation, language, eyestrain and dementia-related stigma. It provides information for developing culturally relevant cognitive training but does not test whether such training affects Alzheimer's disease.
