Co‐design and user‐testing outcomes of a dementia risk reduction education program for multicultural communities in Australia, the MindCare program

The rigorous co-design process which involved close collaboration with nearly 100 participants from the target communities, experts, and key services ensured the programs met diverse cultural needs while maintaining evidence-based rigor. The process of co-designing MindCare was far from linear and required flexibility, and iterative feedback cycles, however, this has been key to the delivery of four culturally-tailored community-education programs. The final MindCare programs will be evaluated through a national randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 2025. Upon trial completion, MindCare programs will be freely available online, offering an impactful dementia prevention education resource for multicultural communities in Australia, with scope for further adaption for use in other languages or countries.

Abstract

The rigorous co-design process which involved close collaboration with nearly 100 participants from the target communities, experts, and key services ensured the programs met diverse cultural needs while maintaining evidence-based rigor. The process of co-designing MindCare was far from linear and required flexibility, and iterative feedback cycles, however, this has been key to the delivery of four culturally-tailored community-education programs. The final MindCare programs will be evaluated through a national randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 2025. Upon trial completion, MindCare programs will be freely available online, offering an impactful dementia prevention education resource for multicultural communities in Australia, with scope for further adaption for use in other languages or countries.
