  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Clustering Latinos under a single group in Alzheimer Disease (AD) research, neglects, among other things cultural and environmental differences. To address this, we examine knowledge and attitudes about AD among two Latino groups. We held 5 focus groups and 2 interviews all in Spanish with Mexicans and Puerto Ricans between 40 and 60 years old living in the Grand Rapids area in Michigan. Using content analysis of the discussions, we identified themes related to knowledge, attitudes and concerns about AD and caregiving. A total of 20 Mexicans and 9 Puerto Ricans participated. <jats:italic>Improving knowledge and awareness</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>barriers</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>home-based family care</jats:italic> were important themes in both Latino groups. Puerto Rican groups raised more <jats:italic>concerns</jats:italic> about the disease, whereas <jats:italic>lack of knowledge</jats:italic> was a key theme among Mexican participants. The exploratory study is a first step in promoting research that is attentive to the commonalities and differences of Latino groups and in continuing efforts to enhance health literacy among these groups.</jats:p>
