The Alzheimer's Association^® announces the launch of its newest open-access, peer-reviewed journal, Alzheimer's & Dementia^®: Behavior & Socioeconomics of Aging (A&D: BSEA), the fourth in the Alzheimer's & Dementia family of journals^®. The new journal examines how economic, social, and behavioral factors impact and inform health policy, interventions, and strategies of dementia care and health outcomes in aging.

The journal's editor-in-chief is Crystal M. Glover, PhD. Glover is an applied social psychologist and mixed methodologist at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago, and an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and of neurological sciences at Rush Medical College. She leads the Outreach, Recruitment, and Engagement Core at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.

“In today's complex and evolving environment, the impact of behavioral, social, and economic influences—separately and in combination—must be taken into consideration when creating and implementing policies that affect health and disease in aging,” Glover said.

“We plan to showcase exciting new research findings, and thoughtful and informed perspectives, on complex, nuanced, and often sensitive topics in aging and dementia. The goal: to impact and inform behavioral strategies and interventions, guidelines, health policy, economic models, and legal practices that promote optimal, equitable aging and dementia care,” Glover added.

Glover's areas of interest include health equity and health disparities; structural and psychosocial determinants of health; intersectionality as a conceptual framework and methodology; and social cognitive processes such as attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions. Her research focuses on understanding and facilitating cognitive and healthy aging across all demographic groups, with a special concentration on African American/Black and Hispanic/Latino communities and others traditionally under-included in aging and dementia research.

Glover belongs to several professional groups, including the Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Risk Reduction.

The new journal's deputy editor is Jennifer Hagerty Lingler, PhD, MA, CRNP, FAAN, of the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. Lingler leads the School of Nursing's Hartford Center for Gerontological Nursing Research. She also leads the Outreach, Recruitment, and Education Core at the University of Pittsburgh Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.

“The Alzheimer's Association supports knowledge sharing among the global scientific community by publishing Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, the leading scientific publication in Alzheimer's and dementia research, along with a family of topic-specific publications,” said Maria C. Carrillo, PhD, Alzheimer's Association chief science officer and medical affairs lead. “A&D: BSEA, with the vision and leadership of Dr. Glover, is a welcome and much-needed addition.”

The Alzheimer's & Dementia journals are open access and freely available to readers worldwide, ensuring that cutting-edge research and critical findings are widely accessible. The Alzheimer's & Dementia family of peer-reviewed journals bridge knowledge gaps in dementia research by publishing work across the spectrum of science: from basic science to clinical trials, to social and behavioral investigations. The journals offer a platform for sharing new findings and ideas, translating research into practical applications and interventions, expanding knowledge across disciplines, and identifying promising new research and therapeutic directions.

阿尔茨海默氏症协会^®宣布推出其最新的开放获取、同行评审期刊，阿尔茨海默氏症与痴呆症^®：老龄化行为与社会经济学（A&D：BSEA，这是阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症家族期刊^®的第四篇。这本新杂志研究了经济、社会和行为因素如何影响和告知痴呆护理和老龄化健康结果的卫生政策、干预措施和策略。

该杂志的主编是 Crystal M. Glover 博士。Glover 是芝加哥拉什阿尔茨海默病中心的应用社会心理学家和混合方法学家，也是拉什医学院精神病学和行为科学以及神经学科学的副教授。她领导 Rush 阿尔茨海默病研究中心的外展、招募和参与核心。

“在当今复杂和不断发展的环境中，在制定和实施影响老龄化健康和疾病的政策时，必须考虑行为、社会和经济影响的影响——单独或结合起来，”格洛弗说。

“我们计划展示令人兴奋的新研究成果，以及关于衰老和痴呆中复杂、细微且通常敏感的话题的深思熟虑和明智的观点。目标：影响和告知行为策略和干预措施、指南、卫生政策、经济模型和法律实践，以促进最佳、公平的老龄化和痴呆护理，“格洛弗补充道。

格洛弗感兴趣的领域包括健康公平和健康差异;健康的结构性和社会心理决定因素;交叉性作为一种概念框架和方法;以及社会认知过程，例如态度、信念和感知。她的研究重点是理解和促进所有人口群体的认知和健康老龄化，特别关注非裔美国人/黑人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区以及传统上被老龄化和痴呆研究所未包括的其他人。

Glover 属于多个专业团体，包括阿尔茨海默病协会、国际阿尔茨海默病研究和治疗促进协会 （ISTAART） 和疾病控制和预防中心 BOLD 公共卫生降低痴呆症风险卓越中心。

新期刊的副主编是匹兹堡大学护理学院的 Jennifer Hagerty Lingler 博士、硕士、CRNP、FAAN。Lingler 领导护理学院的哈特福德老年护理研究中心。她还领导匹兹堡大学阿尔茨海默病研究中心的外展、招聘和教育核心。

“阿尔茨海默氏症协会通过出版阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症：阿尔茨海默氏症协会杂志来支持全球科学界之间的知识共享，阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症研究的领先科学出版物，以及一系列特定主题的出版物，”阿尔茨海默氏症协会首席科学官兼医疗事务负责人Maria C. Carrillo博士说。“A&D：BSEA在Glover博士的远见和领导下，是一个受欢迎且急需的补充。”

阿尔茨海默氏症和痴呆症期刊是开放获取的，并且对全球读者免费开放，确保了前沿研究和关键发现的广泛访问。阿尔茨海默氏症与痴呆症系列同行评审期刊通过发表跨科学领域的工作来弥合痴呆研究中的知识差距：从基础科学到临床试验，再到社会和行为调查。这些期刊提供了一个平台，用于分享新的发现和想法，将研究转化为实际应用和干预措施，扩展跨学科知识，并确定有前途的新研究和治疗方向。
