Assessing the ECHO® model's role in strengthening health department responses to dementia risk

Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the ECHO series, increased recognition of dementia risk reduction as a public health issue, and increased knowledge and confidence about reducing dementia risk. Overall, 70% of respondents said they would implement something they learned immediately or in the next 30 days. Increased recognition of and confidence to implement dementia risk reduction strategies can lead to improved health outcomes and more proactive measures being integrated into public health strategies.
