Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, United States  \nLatino communities are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease, yet they remain underrepresented in dementia research. To address this issue in alignment with community engaged frameworks, we formed a Steering Council (SC) (N = 16) of caregivers, individuals living with dementia, community health workers, health and social service providers, and researchers. The SC worked with the study team to design and implement six “community pláticas”among different South Texas communities. These gatherings were carefully designed to integrate culturally-specific components (e.g., music, food, language translation), with a key component being reciprocal group discussions aimed at identifying research priorities and patient-centered outcomes. To assess whether strategies to engage the SC were effective, an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design study was employed. The Research Engagement Survey Tool (REST) was administered at three time points, revealing statistically significant increases in quality of engagement over time (p \u003C 0.05 across multiple engagement principles) and strengthened levels of engagement (collaboration and partnership). Additionally, 10 in-depth interviews with SC members provided insight into the dynamics of engagement, emphasizing the evolution of trust, co-learning, and collective leadership over time. Integrated analysis confirmed that iterative, community-driven engagement strategies contribute to stronger, more sustainable research partnerships.  \nThis study offers a replicable framework for inclusive research engagement. Findings reinforce the need for culturally-aligned, patient-and family-centered research models that reflect the needs, perspectives, and experiences of populations typically excluded from research.  \n,","cbCail1XEkuhlOeH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail1XEkuhlOeH","pdf",434448,"English","# Abstract\n## Community council formation and engagement approach\n## Mixed-methods evaluation (survey and interviews)\n## Key findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"Why was the Steering Council formed for this dementia research?\",\"answer\":\"Latino communities are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease but are underrepresented in dementia research.
