About
The ImPaCT (Improving Palliative Care Together) study team at the University of Washington conducts research to improve care for older adults with memory problems who speak a language other than English and their family members. For our current study, we are interested in talking with Spanish-speaking older adults with memory problems and family members to understand their experiences accessing healthcare, the barriers and challenges they face, and the types of community resources that would be helpful. This information will help us to develop new interventions to improve care for this population.
Participation in this study is voluntary and confidential.
We are seeking individuals who meet the following criteria:
- An adult who is 55 years of age or older AND
- Experiencing memory loss AND
- Speaks Spanish as their primary language
OR

- Is 18 years of age or older
- Speaks either Spanish or English as their primary language
