Summary

This trial tests a computer-based training program called Just Care, designed for inmate peer caregivers who provide geriatric and end-of-life care in prisons. The study includes about 83 participants—inmate caregivers and prison staff—and focuses on whether the program is usable and acceptable. The goal is to see if this e-training can help meet the growing need for elder care behind bars, where the number of older prisoners is rising sharply.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Just Care, a computer-based learning program
What this could lead to
If the training works, it could improve the quality of care that older and dying inmates receive from their peers, potentially easing strain on prison healthcare systems.
What could go wrong
This is a small usability-focused trial, so it may not show whether the training actually improves care outcomes. The program's effectiveness in real prison settings remains uncertain.
