Unfold, a °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ podcast, launches its final episode of Season 4 today with an in-depth look at research that explores whether Vietnamese refugees who experienced trauma during the war or its aftermath are more at risk of developing dementia in older age.

Since the fall of Saigon in 1975, more than 1.2 million Southeast Asian refugees and immigrants have resettled in the U.S. Many of them experienced significant trauma. Now, Vietnamese refugees in the U.S. are at ages where they’re beginning to develop dementia. But like other underrepresented groups in the U.S., they also face barriers to seeking treatment for trauma and dementia. In this episode of Unfold, we talk to a °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ researcher embarking on the first long-term study examining early life contributors to dementia in Vietnamese American communities.

In this episode:

• , social psychologist at Alzheimer’s Disease Center at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ Health
• , former child refugee from Vietnam, recent graduate of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ School of Medicine and psychiatry resident at UCSF Fresno
