What this study is
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.
