AAIC Advancements: Reducing Disparities in Brain Health

AAIC® Advancements: Reducing Disparities in Brain Health will convene leaders from academia, community organizations, government and philanthropy to advance brain health for all. By bringing together speakers and participants from diverse disciplines, sectors and career stages, this meeting is designed to move the field beyond understanding disparities and toward generating real-world solutions that improve brain health across communities and settings. Brain health disparities are shaped by complex, intersecting factors, and no single discipline or sector can address them alone. Over two days, the conference will examine brain health disparities from biological, clinical, behavioral, sociocultural, environmental, community and lifecourse perspectives, with sessions designed around shared priorities and actionable next steps.
