A community-based participatory research study tested whether a faith-based, resident-led approach increases ADRD knowledge and screening, and whether age, female gender, lower education, and years lived rural predict referrals, new dementia diagnoses, and treatment. Trained local faith members delivered surveys, brief memory assessments, brain-health strategies, and follow-up, with virtual outreach during the pandemic and repeated measures after one year.","468 Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1600  \nADAPTING THE “FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS”  \nAPPROACH TO INCREASE DEMENTIA TREATMENT IN A RURAL COHORT  \nLisa Wiese1, James Galvin2, Jennifer Lingler3, Ishan Williams4, Janet Holt1, and Nancy Schoenberg5, 1.

University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, United States Rurality confers a heightened risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) . Recent demographic shifts have fueled rural, small-town growth, reshaping the composition of rural communities with increased representation of older and racially and ethnically diverse individuals, whose ADRD risk is compounded by other factors. Using a community-based participatory approach, we tested the hypotheses that (1) a faith-based, resident-led approach would increase ADRD knowledge and screening, and (2) older age, female gender, lower educational levels, and more years lived rural would predict number of referrals, new dementia diagnoses, and treatment. An adaptation of Schoenberg’s (2009) Faith Moves Mountains model, previously successful in detection and management of other chronic illnesses in rural settings, guided this community-based participatory research. Local faith community members were trained as research assistants to recruit, administer surveys, conduct brief memory assessments, teach brain health strategies, and follow-up with residents. Outreaches were offered virtually during the pandemic, the∼ n in-person monthly at rotating church sites, and  \nrepeated 1 year later. This rural sample was 74.5% non-White, with 28% reporting","cbCaisd5XazuEeFI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisd5XazuEeFI","pdf",454219,12,1,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n## Study aims and hypotheses\n##
