A community-based participatory approach to delivering the Dealing with Dementia program to Black caregivers

While program acceptability was high, delivery challenges included limited facilitator availability, a 2.5-month grant period, and outreach barriers in Black rural communities. Following the pilot field test, a sustainability plan was co-developed with community facilitators to support continued implementation and ensure that resources spent on DWD<sub>Alter</sub> were not lost.

Abstract

While program acceptability was high, delivery challenges included limited facilitator availability, a 2.5-month grant period, and outreach barriers in Black rural communities. Following the pilot field test, a sustainability plan was co-developed with community facilitators to support continued implementation and ensure that resources spent on DWD<sub>Alter</sub> were not lost.
