简要总结
The goal of this intervention trial is to evaluate the effectiveness the online training program Dementia Education and Resources for Action (DERA) in improving Alzheimer's disease and related dementia-(ADRD) knowledge, stigma, and service-related self-efficacy among community health workers (CHWs). We hypothesize that participants who have completed the DERA will have improved ADRD knowledge and self-efficacy in related service and reduced stigma against ADRD and people affected.

研究组 & 干预措施
Immediate DERA Intervention
Participants assigned to this arm will receive immediate access to the DERA online training program. The program is web-based platform and includes 7 structured modules on dementia knowledge, stigma reduction, and the role of community health workers in supporting individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
干预措施: DERA Online Training Program (Behavioral)
Waitlist Control

They will complete baseline and post-intervention assessments over a similar timeframe as the intervention group. After completion of the post-intervention assessment, participants will be provided access to the DERA training program.
结局指标
主要结局
Dementia Knowledge
时间窗: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6-7 weeks)
Dementia knowledge will be assessed using the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS). The DKAS is a validated instrument that measures knowledge across multiple domains, including causes, symptoms, risk factors, and care considerations. Scores range from lower to higher levels of knowledge, with higher scores indicating greater dementia-related knowledge.
Dementia Knowledge
时间窗: Baseline to post-intervention (approximately 6-8 weeks)
Dementia knowledge will be assessed using the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS). The DKAS is a validated instrument that measures knowledge across multiple domains, including causes, symptoms, risk factors, and care considerations. DKAS-25 total score ranges from 0 to 50. Items are scored 0-2, with higher scores indicating greater dementia-related knowledge.
次要结局
