ABSTRACT: Screening and Survey Instrument Development The National Dementia Workforce Study (NDWS) will be launched by a national team of experts in clinical care of persons living with dementia, survey research, and health workforce research. The goal of the NDWS data infrastructure is to allow researchers and policymakers to ask and answer scientific questions to help build the workforce of clinicians and other professional care providers required by the growing population of persons living with dementia in the U.S. The Screening and Survey Instrument Development Core will develop the survey content and procedures to launch four nationally representative surveys of Community Clinicians, Nursing Home Staff, Assisted Living Staff, and Home Care Staff. This team will: 1) Develop sampling frames for the four NDWS surveys from data sources including national Medicare and Medicaid claims and assessment data to create efficient sample designs; 2) Develop questionnaires targeting specific professional workforce providers relevant to the particular survey setting (e.g., physicians, nurses, direct care workers) with a focus on training, compensation, payment models, and care practices; 3) Test questionnaires using focus groups, cognitive interviews, expert review, and several innovative online methods in order to ensure reliable and valid measurement; and 4) Develop a process to solicit proposals for new items to be added to ongoing surveys.
