Abstract

This article focuses on refining an explanatory framework for tailored education about dementia risk and personal health beliefs among middle-aged adults as part of a broader project to develop a behavioral health intervention for dementia prevention. The study involved 11 non-Hispanic white participants aged 49–69 who received personalized assessments of modifiable dementia risk factors and health belief concepts, followed by semi-structured interviews analyzed thematically. Participants generally found the personalized dementia risk information clear, understandable, and occasionally consoling, and they could relate their health beliefs to brain health behaviors. The findings informed the refinement of the framework for disclosing dementia risk and health beliefs, which will be used to develop and test a personalized health education intervention in a randomized controlled trial.
