Improving Cross‐Cultural Dementia Screening: Evaluating A Pilot Training for Community Health Staff
This pilot training program effectively improved the knowledge, confidence, and awareness of community older adult mental health staff in conducting cross-cultural dementia assessments, highlighting its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and equity in diverse populations. Future research should investigate the long-term impact of such training on clinical practices and patient outcomes and explore how to integrate ongoing support and hands-on application into training programs.
