   Proposal Description:
   Lumbar puncture (LP) in both the clinical care and research of Alzheimer disease (AD) is becoming increasingly more common however, agreement to undergo LP varies widely across country, culture, and region.  We sought to determine the factors that influence consent for research LP at the 27 Alzheimer???s Disease Centers (ADCs) in the United States.  Data were collected on LP procedure methods, participant LP experience, and complication rates.
