“…The study had 91 participants at posttest. The literature review in Chapters One and Two revealed that minorities have the lowest participation rate in mental health outcome research and that attrition rates for minority members in traditional therapy are as high as two times the attrition rates of Caucasians (Dingfelder, 2005;Rose, 2005;Schuerholz-Lehr, 2007). This was not the case within this study.…”

“…Presently, reports on minority older adult responsiveness to interventions may be biased: current reports rely on small numbers of minority older adults who (a) participate in mental health outcome research, and (b) have access to regular medical care. Minorities have the lowest participation rates in mental health outcome research and the highest attrition rates (Rose, 2005).…”

The population of ethnically diverse older adults in the US is rapidly growing, and reports of cognitive impairments, such as those caused by Alzheimer"s disease, are becoming more prevalent. This investigation explored whether art therapy could provide cognitive benefits among an ethnically diverse (N = 133), particularly Latino/Hispanic, population of older adults who are often excluded from research on aging and cognition. Within the study, five art therapists, each in distinct cities throughout three US states, provided art therapy to individuals aged 55 years and older at facilities such as community centers, adult daycare, assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities. Data were collected from therapist notes and reports, attendance records, demographic questionnaires, pretests, and posttests. Both objective and subjective assessments were employed during the pre-and posttest sessions. Assessments were chosen based on their validity, reliability, and the availability of previous research demonstrating the efficacy of their use. Seventeen art therapy studies provided the basis for the methodology of this study. An objective assessment was used to evaluate changes in cognitive performance among participants. Two statistical analyses were applied to assessment data: a t-test and a univariate linear regression. In both analyses, the experimental group exhibited significantly improved cognitive performance. Results from the t-test analysis showed that the mean change in scores among experimental group members was significantly greater than the control group (t = 1.68; p = .048). The univariate analysis revealed that cognitive performance showed statistically significant improvement among the experimental group members as compared with the control group (t = 2.44; p = .017). The results indicated that art therapy as a treatment provided a medium effect size (d = .064). Cognitive functioning improved significantly among the experimental group as compared to the control group following 10 weeks of art therapy. Other findings suggested that subjective cognitive performance improved, though not significantly, and that treatment factors such as session duration and art-therapy-approach were significantly correlated with changes in cognitive performance.

“…Education and learning have been found to better enable individuals to cope with the aging process, which may in turn inhibit the progression of age-related cognitive decline Downloaded by [University of Montana] at 22:20 04 April 2015 ALDERS (Perneczky et al, 2009;Roe et al, 2007;Stern, 2009;University of CaliforniaIrvine, 2007). Latino elderly suffer disproportionately high rates of cognitive impairment (O'Bryant, Humphreys, et al, 2007;Rose, 2005) and have limited access to education because of language and cultural barriers (Morales & Hanson, 2005;NHCOA, 2009). Art education was selected as a culturally competent learning model for this study.…”

“…By 2030, 1 in 5 individuals is expected to be older than 65, and 1 in 3 is expected to be Latino (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009). Latino elderly suffer disproportionately high rates of cognitive impairment compared to individuals in other ethnic groups (O'Bryant, Humphreys, Schiffer, & Sutker, 2007;Rose, 2005). Education is a strong predictor of later life cognitive decline (Pavlik, Doody, Massman, & Chan, 2006), and one theory for why Latino rates of cognitive impairment are higher than those for other ethnic groups is that, on average, Latino American elderly have lower levels of formal education and lower literacy rates than elderly from other ethnic groups (NHCOA, 2009).…”

“…In fact, a sizable literature has accumulated showing that many of the primary factors related to AD are also significantly related to MCI risk, including age [6–8], education [7,8], gender [7,8], APOE ε4 genotype [6,7], hypertension and heart disease [6,9,10], diabetes [11,12], and depression [6,12,13]. While there has been a surge in research over the last decade on the topic of MCI, there is a paucity of literature available on this construct among Hispanics residing within the U.S. [14]. The population of U.S. Hispanics ages 65 and above will triple by the year 2050 [15] with the rates of AD expected to grow six-fold [16].…”

Background While a great deal of literature has focused on risk factors for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), little published work examines risk for MCI among Mexican Americans. Methods Data from 1628 participants (non-Hispanic n= 1002; Mexican American n=626) were analyzed from two ongoing studies of cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease, Project FRONTIER and TARCC. Results When looking at the full cohorts (non-Hispanic and Mexican American), age, education, APOE ε4 status and gender were consistently related to MCI diagnosis across the two cohorts. However, when split by ethnicity advancing age was the only significant risk factor for MCI among Mexican Americans across both cohorts. Conclusions The current data suggests that many of the previously established risk factors for MCI among non-Hispanic cohorts may not be predictive of MCI among Mexican Americans and point to the need for additional work aimed at understanding factors related to cognitive aging among this underserved segment of the population.
