   Proposal Description:
   Prior research has indicated that older adults from minority backgrounds tend to score lower on cognitive tests when compared with older adults from majority groups.  Our research will use cognitive data from the UDS to replicate these findings and examine implications for likelihood of false positive mild cognitive impairment diagnoses among underrepresented groups.
