Sponsor's own description

These are the exploratory aims of the original trial cohort study "Old School Hip Hop RCT (AAAR5473)," which recruited 783 parents.

1. Continued follow-up of these families to learn more about the durability of the program through similar assessments to those used during the pre-specified 3-month initial study timeframe - aiming to understand participant knowledge and personal experiences with family members or friends affected by Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
2. Further examining the degree of comfort with dementia, as measured by a simplified version of the Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS) focused on observable behaviors in children by their parents - aiming to understand the extent of stigmatization of dementia in communities served by this program, and if the trial impacted evidence of stigma.
3. Enrolling up to 75 parents who primarily spoke Spanish who were originally contacted in the RCT but were not eligible for completion of the original round of surveys given that all study materials were in English. This approach aims to better understand the impact of the program and Alzheimer disease on these families.

Hypothesis 1: For the delayed follow-up with parents, the investigator anticipates that those with high dementia literacy or the largest dementia literacy improvement would sustain knowledge over 15-month period.

Hypothesis 2: Children who received the intervention arm of the trial, who also have regular contact with a close friend or family member with dementia, will demonstrate positive dementia attitudes relative to students in the control arm.

Hypothesis 3: Semi-structured interviews with Spanish speaking families will help program capacity to better serve the population and improve involvement in AD care and research.
