Biography

Dr. Rodriguez’s research focus is on Hispanic older adults at risk for developing dementia and on identifying cultural factors that contribute to cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, risk/protection against developing dementia, and the caregiver experience among Hispanic families. She has used neuroimaging measures to distinguish between dementia types and early/prodromal stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), examined correlations of these factors to AD biomarkers, and has identified sensitive measures of cognition among Hispanic populations.
• Health disparities in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD)
• Neuropsychological functioning among ethnically diverse older adults
• Relationships between cultural factors and AD biomarkers
• Risk and protective factors among culturally diverse populations at risk for ADRD
• Healthy Aging
• Dementia caregiver Interventions
• Culturally adapted interventions for Hispanic dementia patients and caregivers
