PLAN: Dementia Literacy Education and Navigation for Korean Elders With Probable Dementia and Their Caregivers
This trial is testing a community health worker program called PLAN, designed to help Korean American elders who may have undiagnosed dementia get connected to medical care, and to help their caregivers understand dementia, reduce depression, and feel more supported. It is a Phase NA behavioral study, meaning it is evaluating a real-world support and navigation program, not a drug or device.
