Summary

This study tests an online training program called DERA for community health workers. The goal is to see if it improves their knowledge about dementia, reduces stigma, and boosts their confidence in helping people with dementia. About 100 community health workers will take the training and complete surveys to measure these changes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
DERA Online Training Program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help community health workers better support people with dementia and their families.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no direct patient outcomes. The training may not lead to lasting changes in practice or patient care.
