Feasibility of a Systems Approach for Alzheimer's Services Among Latinos Attending Primary Care Practices

The research team will train primary care practitioners from Kansas City clinics to enhance skills in cultural competence, dementia detection, treatment and referral to a Health Navigator among Latinos 65 and older with dementia. The Health Navigator will provide patient/caregiver dyads referred by Alianza Latina providers with care management, psychosocial support and links to relevant community resources. Outcomes include feasibility and acceptability of 1) PCP training and 2) patient and caregiver dementia care.
