NCT ID NCT06565169
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special training toolkit helps doctors and nurses have better conversations about future medical care with people living with Alzheimer's or related dementias. The researchers will compare clinics that use the toolkit to those that continue usual care, tracking how often and how well these important discussions happen. The goal is to improve advance care planning, including choosing a surrogate decision-maker and documenting care preferences.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a practical way to have better conversations about future care with dementia patients, leading to more personalized and planned care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on training doctors, not directly treating dementia. The toolkit may not work in all clinics or improve actual patient outcomes.
