A-167 The Role of Epilepsy Knowledge and Treatment Beliefs in Medication Self-Management Among Diverse People with Epilepsy Open
Objective: Research into medication adherence remains limited among ethnically diverse people with epilepsy (PWE). We characterized self-reported reasons for suboptimal adherence in this population. Next, we sought to replicate a previousl…

Health Locus of Control and Neurocognitive Function in Latinx and Non-Latinx White People Living With HIV: A Cross-sectional Study Open
Research suggests that health locus of control (HLOC) is related to important health and neurocognitive outcomes in people living with HIV. However, the role of ethnicity in these relationships remains poorly understood. This study explore…

Latinx brain health disparities in cognitive aging: The role of acculturation on brain integrity and cognition among older HIV+ adults Open
Background The US Latinx population is the largest ethnoracial minority group and the fastest growing sector of the aging population (Escarce et al., 2006; US Census Bureau, 2008). Compared to non‐Latinx whites (NLW), the Latinx population…

Depressive Symptoms Differentially Predict Neurocognition in Latinx and Non-Hispanic White People Living with HIV Open
Objectives: Depression is common in people living with HIV (PLWH) and can contribute to neurocognitive dysfunction. Depressive symptoms in PLWH are often measured by assessing only cognitive/affective symptoms. Latinx adults, however, ofte…

The neurocognitive effects of a past cannabis use disorder in a diverse sample of people living with HIV Open
People living with HIV (PLWH) report higher rates of cannabis use than the general population, a trend likely to continue in light of recent policy changes and the reported therapeutic benefits of cannabis for PLWH. Therefore, it is import…

A-06 Current Norms May Overestimate Rates of Neurocognitive Impairment among American Indian and Alaskan Native Adults. Open
Objective Currently available normative data subsume American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations within the non-Latinx white (NLW) ethnoracial group. The classification accuracy of such norms among AI/AN remains unknown. This cr…

Does Decision-Making Ability Predict HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder? Open
Background Executive dysfunction (EF) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is well-established. However, decision-making, a key aspect of EF, is often overlooked in neurocognitive (NC) evaluations of PLWH. Poor decision-making can detrimentall…

Health Locus of Control and Neuropsychological Performance in Latinx and Non-Latinx White Persons Living with HIV (PLWH) Open
Objective Health locus of control (HLOC) refers to health attributions related to one’s actions, chance, doctors, or powerful others and impacts health service utilization. Locus of control (LOC) relates to better neurocognitive (NC) funct…

Depressive Symptoms Contribute to Executive Deficits in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Open
This study examined the contribution of depression to reduced executive functioning in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) using three groups: TLE only (TLE; N=29), TLE+depression (TLE+DEP) (N=22), and nonneurologic participants with depression (…
