In this week’s Scientist Highlights, we feature Roger Wong, PhD, MPH, MSW, who became a JHAD RCMAR Scientist in 2021. Dr. Wong’s RCMAR pilot project is “Mediating and Moderating Effects of Modifiable Lifestyle Behaviors on Dementia Risk Among White and Hispanic Older Adults”. His research interests include racial and ethnic disparities in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD); ADRD prevention through modifiable lifestyle behaviors (e.g., physical activity, smoking, social contacts, and sleep disturbances); recruitment and retention of underrepresented populations in ADRD research; and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on older adults with and without ADRD.
