Primary care providers (PCPs) are crucial for early detection and management. However, organizational and policy factors significantly impact their ability to provide culturally competent and equitable ADRD care for this community. This study explores PCP perspectives on these organizational and policy factors to inform the development of accessible models that improve early diagnosis, preventive care, and quality of life for Latino individuals with ADRD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used thematic analysis to analyze qualitative interviews with 23 diverse PCPs across the United States.

Providers reported that workup was influenced by their level of training, time availability, and comfort. 3) While recognized as crucial, comprehensive assessments that include evaluation of their home and social environment were limited by appointment constraints and lack of follow-up resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"conclusion\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Economic and organizational factors, including insurance, costs, staffing models, and resource navigation, shape PCPs\u2019 ability to deliver culturally competent and equitable ADRD care.
