About this trial

This research project has three main goals:

(1) To create a new screening tool that helps primary care doctors spot signs of neglect in older adults with dementia. (2) To design a support program that can be delivered both in person and through a mobile app on Android phones. (3) To run a clinical trial with three groups of participants to find out how effective the screening tool is on its own, and how effective it is when combined with the support program-compared to standard care.

This current phase of the project focuses on parts of goals 1 and 2, as described below.
