Quick video training aims to help doctors diagnose grief in seniors
NCT ID NCT07487233
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a brief informational video can improve how doctors diagnose prolonged grief disorder (PGD) in older adults. About 198 physicians in geriatrics, psychiatry, and family medicine will watch either a PGD training video or a general bereavement video. Their ability to correctly identify PGD in clinical scenarios will be measured before and after the video. The goal is to see if simple training can reduce missed or wrong diagnoses.
