Considerations for AD/ADRD Clinical Trials for Black Men

Conference Theme: This meeting will provide a review of the AD/ADRD clinical trials landscape as it relates to health equity and intersectionality, particularly the under-inclusion of Black men in these clinical trials. Historical and ongoing ethical and practical issues will be examined, as well as how clinical trials in other areas have confronted these challenges. This conference will be held at Xavier University of Louisiana, a historically Black College and University (HBCU) in New Orleans, LA.

ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE

The 2025 Black Men's Brain Health (BMBH) Conference is the fourth in an annual event series hosted during Super Bowl Week and funded by sponsors such as the Alzheimer's Association, the National Institute on Aging, and the NFL Alumni Association.

This year, we are excited to host the conference at Xavier University of Louisiana, marking our first time bringing our programming to an HBCU. The event will include members of the Xavier University community, clinical practitioners, community-based organizations, NFL Alumni, the Alzheimer’s Association, and over 1,000 virtual participants.

The BMBH Conference Series aims to address brain health disparities among Black men, focusing on cognitive aging, Alzheimer's disease, and sociocultural impacts, by convening experts, practitioners, and community members.
