   Proposal Description:
   For our capstone project my partner and I are interested in looking at previous longitudinal studies looking at the age of onset, age of diagnosis, and the ways in which they were treated for dementia. The research found will uncover the ways in which minority groups are not equally participating in research, or are represented in the treatment of this disease. My partner and I would propose that longitudinal studies be done on African American and Latino groups to further generalize the treatment of this disease.
