Abstract
Abstract This presentation will present the findings from the pilot sessions. 266 people completed both pre- and post-session surveys (Mage=46.10, SDage=11.47; Female=62.03%; Full time=97.36%). Sixty-five percent knew a person living with dementia (PWD) and 28.57% said they worked with PWD. Four out of the five attitude items (e.g., I am confident interacting with PWD; I am able to recognize behaviors that may be due to dementia) significantly improved (ps<0.001). There was no change in knowledge items (ps≥0.18); Ninety-five percent agreed they would use the information in their work and 95.82% would recommend the session to the people they worked with. Topics participants wanted to learn more about focused on communication with and activities for PWD in an incarcerated setting, learning more about dementia, adjusting the physical environment for PWD, and ensuring proper diet. Further, participants felt the session should be required for all ODRC staff.
