CHWs who completed workforce-appropriate trainings to address dementia are likely to have a positive impact on healthy aging and living with dementia. The Oklahoma Dementia Care Network developed the Dementia Training for Community Health Workers by combining knowledge about CHWs in Oklahoma, national recommendations on the CHW scope of work, and evidence-based dementia care strategies. Utilizing the Kirkpatrick Model, we evaluated the training effectiveness with a focus on knowledge and skill acquisition, CHW training feedback, and application of knowledge and resources shared during the training. We conducted 15 trainings with 307 trainees between June 2020 and March 2024. Data was collected on pre/post knowledge, self-efficacy, and post-training feedback. Analyzing a subsample of trainees (50%; n = 154), we found that both knowledge and some of the self-efficacy items showed statistically significant improvements. Trainees were satisfied with the training content, format, and delivery. Responding to a follow-up survey, they shared their appreciation of the practical value of the training to their jobs. Our training has practical implications for workforce development as it prepares CHWs to address dementia within their broad scope of work. The training can be adapted by different communities using culturally relevant narratives that reflect unique values and experiences.","cbCaivIUwk68ElWf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivIUwk68ElWf","pdf",46974,"English","# Introduction\n## Training development and rationale\n## Evaluation method and study design\n## Results: knowledge, self-efficacy, and feedback\n## Implications and adaptation","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the dementia training for community health workers?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to help CHWs prevent and recognize dementia by improving knowledge and skills and by supporting use of dementia care resources within their broad scope of work.\"},{\"question\":\"How was training effectiveness evaluated in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Effectiveness was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick Model, focusing on knowledge and skill acquisition, CHW training feedback, and application of knowledge and shared resources.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the study find after the training?\",\"answer\":\"A subsample analysis showed statistically significant improvements in overall knowledge and some self-efficacy items.
