Summary

This study tests whether offering a $25 gift card encourages older adults from diverse backgrounds to join an Alzheimer's prevention registry. Researchers will recruit 400 people aged 50+ at community events, comparing the gift card to a non-cash gift. The goal is to see if small financial incentives improve enrollment and make research more representative.
