Summary
This study tested two training programs (in-person and online) for staff in long-term care facilities in Minnesota. The goal was to improve care for LGBTQ+ residents with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Over 700 staff members participated, and researchers measured changes in policies, skills, and knowledge. The results could help shape future training to make care more respectful and inclusive.
