Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a special training toolkit can help primary care doctors have better conversations with people who have Alzheimer's disease or related dementias about their future care wishes and goals. The toolkit includes short educational videos about dementia, communication skills training for doctors and their teams, and ongoing support like monthly feedback and coaching. The goal is to make these important conversations happen more often and more effectively in regular primary care clinics.
Many primary care doctors don't regularly discuss future care goals with dementia patients and families, even though these conversations are very important. This study wants to see if giving doctors special training and tools can make it easier for them to have these conversations and help patients get care that matches what they actually want.

If you are a patient with dementia, you would continue your regular primary care visits at your clinic. Your care team may receive special training to have better conversations about your future care goals, and researchers will track how often these conversations happen and how they affect your healthcare. The study lasts 18 months, and your medical records will be reviewed to see how the new approach affects your overall care and health outcomes.
