NCT ID NCT07617883
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week blended training program can improve dementia knowledge and skills among primary healthcare providers in China. About 240 workers from community health centers will be randomly assigned to either the training or self-study materials. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practice behaviors right after the program and again three months later.
