Overview

Educational intervention demonstrates increased screening self-efficacy and knowledge in older adults, suggesting community senior centers can promote memory screening engagement.

Key Points

  • Memory screening self-efficacy and perceived benefits increased significantly among 44 older adults following community educational presentations.
  • Hierarchical linear modeling analyses evaluated psychosocial changes across three community centers, incorporating pre-test, post-test, and follow-up data.
  • Findings highlight how educational workshops can strengthen dementia screening intention, suggesting community senior centers offer accessible preventive care.
