four main constructs with similar Cronbach’s results; Symptoms, Prevention, Detection, and Treatment. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient showed inverse relationships between knowledge scores and health literacy, education, years in a rural area, and site (r 1⁄4 -.31, -. 34, and -.44 respectively; p 1⁄4 .05.) Two predictors explained 41.6% of the variance (R 1⁄4.44, F(2,53)1⁄4 4.48, p <.05). Sociodemographic findings revealed that a majority of participants (86%) would want to participate in memory screening if offered, regardless of education or health literacy level. Conclusions:The BKAD survey is a good fit for use in rural populations. The BKAD may be a good fit for ethnically diverse populations with language barriers. (The BKAD has been translated into Spanish and Creole and is currently being tested in rural, ethnically diverse populations. The English version is available for use by conference attendees). There was a high degree of interest in early detection among those tested regardless of social determinants.
