Our recent UX engagement on a federal grant focused on a challenge in Alzheimer\u2019s research: Black, Hispanic, and\/or Latinx people are diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s disease more frequently than their white counterparts, yet participate in clinical trials, particularly prevention trials, at a lower rate. We were tasked with solving \u201cusability issues\u201d that prevented underrepresented populations from participating in research. Predictably, we surfaced more about inequality than usability. In this talk, we will share some of the mistakes we made and lessons we learned about broadening the definition of usability. Additionally, we will discuss how we articulated systemic inequality as part of our usability findings, and how this experience continues to influence our thinking about usability, inclusivity and anti-racism in our present research endeavours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
