Designing a Multimodal and Culturally Relevant Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementia Generative Artificial Intelligence Tool for Black American Informal Caregivers: Cognitive Walk-Through Usability Study

Previous studies, especially in the domain of human-centered design, highlight the importance of integrating cultural insights into health care technologies for this community [27-31]. Hence, it is crucial to tailor generative AI–based health interventions to meet the unique needs of Black American informal caregivers of individuals with ADRD. Thus, this study identified the needs of Black American caregivers of individuals with ADRD by testing Lola, an ADRD-focused generative AI tool.

However, cultural adaptation based on universal signs and symptoms undermines the more fundamental role of intentions and conventions in meaning making [28]. Conversely, another framework developed by Horrell [29] aims to develop new interventions for different cultural groups.

Need for Culturally Competent and Responsive Cancer Education for African Immigrant Families and Youth Living in the United States

The youth of African immigrants assimilate the language and cultures of the host society while leveraging their cultural and linguistic heritage for optimum survival, a process that yields linguistic and cultural hybridity. The complexity that underlies the African immigrants’ linguistic and cultural identities in the United States should inform approaches to developing culturally competent education for youth and their families to improve overall health outcomes.

A Brief, Digital Music-Based Mindfulness Intervention for Black Americans With Elevated Race-Based Anxiety and Little-to-No Meditation Experience (“healing attempt"): Replication and Extension Study

The feasibility and potential efficacy of “healing attempt” is likely driven by its cultural relevance. This intervention’s design is centered around culturally relevant and communal healing, wherein participants partake in an intervention crafted by Black artists, made specifically for Black Americans. This intentionality may bolster the positive effects of the intervention.

A Digital Music-Based Mindfulness Intervention (“healing attempt”) for Race-Based Anxiety in Black Americans

However, three limitations often hinder the Black community from accessing these resources: a lack of cultural relevance, high costs, and excessive time commitments [3-5]. In response to these barriers, Author GJ created “healing attempt,” a brief digital music-based mindfulness intervention for race-based anxiety in the Black community. The intervention consists of originally composed and prerecorded songs, meditations, and poems.
