Evaluating the Impact of a Web‐Based Educational Intervention on Dementia Risk Factor Awareness, Intentions, and Health Behaviours: Results from a Mixed‐Methods Randomized Controlled Trial
DementiaRisk.ca significantly improved knowledge of dementia risk factors and promoted behavior changes, especially among individuals with lower education levels. These findings suggest the platform's potential to reduce health inequities and improve public health outcomes in dementia prevention. Future research will focus on optimizing engagement and expanding reach to diverse populations, with an emphasis on long-term impact.
