尽管文献中报道了几个旨在解决农村地区患有痴呆症的老年人的需求的教育推广计划，但很少有人进行系统的评估。这篇文章的目的是描述痴呆症教育培训师计划(DE-TTT-P)，旨在传播关于密歇根州农村地区痴呆症的信息。28名卫生保健提供者完成了DE-TTT-P，现在担任培训员。在为期18个月的计划中，3276名农村居民参加了培训师提供的223次痴呆症教育课程中的一次。在总结了该计划的设计、实施和评估后，讨论提供了经验教训和战略，以在正式项目期后保持新形成的培训员网络。
Although several educational outreach programs designed to address the needs of older adults with dementia in rural areas have been reported in the literature, few have been systematically evaluated. The purpose of this article is to describe the Dementia Education Train-the-Trainer Program (DE-TTT-P), designed to disseminate information about dementia in rural areas of Michigan. Twenty-eight health care providers completed the DE-TTT-P and now serve as trainers. Over the course of the 18-month program, 3,2 76 rural residents attended one of the 223 dementia education sessions offered by the trainers. After summarizing the design, implementation, and evaluation of the program, the discussion offers lessons learned and strategies to maintain the newly formed network of trainers beyond the official project period.
