ObjectivesThere is no European consensus on good clinical practice for timely diagnosis and culturally appropriate care of people with dementia from minority ethnic groups. Despite significant advances in culture‐sensitive dementia diagnostics, little is known about how this has been implemented in clinical practice. The aims of this follow‐up survey were to explore current practices for assessing dementia in patients from minority ethnic groups in Europe and to determine whether barriers in access to specialized dementia services have changed during the last 14 years.MethodsA cross‐sectional online survey was conducted in the European Alzheimer's Disease Consortium (EADC) in June 2023. The survey utilized questionnaires from a previous EADC survey from 2009 and focused on different points in the clinical assessment of dementia in patients from minority ethnic groups.ResultsThirty‐three centers from 15 countries participated in the survey, of which 21 were the same as in the 2009 survey. Patients from minority ethnic groups were seen on a regular basis in 91% of these centers, which was a significant increase compared to 2009 (69%, p = 0.04). Despite perceived clinical expertise increasing, implemented strategies for bypassing cultural and linguistic barriers were sparse and communication problems and lack of adequate assessment tools continued to be the main perceived barriers in diagnostic assessment of dementia in minority ethnic groups.ConclusionsPatients from minority ethnic groups are increasingly being referred for diagnostic assessment of dementia in Europe. Despite some improvements, diagnostic challenges generally remained the same as in 2009 and there is a continuous need to implement effective cross‐cultural communication and assessment practices.

Introduction: Haitian migrants in Chile face significant challenges in accessing healthcare services due to language barriers. Objective: This scoping review aimed to identify the main linguistic barriers and facilitators that impact healthcare access for this population.Methods: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, identifying relevant studies published on linguistic barriers and healthcare access for Haitian migrants in Chile. The PRISMA framework was used to guide the selection process, and data were synthesized into key themes.Results: A total of 7 studies were included in the review. The findings showed that limited Spanish proficiency and the lack of trained interpreters were major obstacles to healthcare access, particularly in primary care and mental health services. Several studies highlighted the positive impact of bilingual community health workers and the development of culturally adapted materials in Haitian Creole as effective facilitators.Conclusions: Language barriers remain a critical challenge for Haitian migrants in Chile. Implementing culturally competent training for healthcare professionals and integrating bilingual support services are essential strategies to improve healthcare access for this population. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term impact of these interventions.
