INTACT Program for Alzheimer's Disease
(INTACT Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
INTACT will utilize a group-randomized trial, to test the effectiveness of a culturally informed provider training and "dementia friendly clinic" intervention for detection and appropriate management of AI/AN patients with ADRD and MCI in 28 urban and rural clinics serving AI/ANs.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems to focus on collecting data from patient records rather than changing treatments.
How is the INTACT Program treatment for Alzheimer's disease different from other treatments?
The INTACT Program is unique because it focuses on training caregivers and healthcare providers to improve care for Alzheimer's patients, rather than being a medication or direct medical intervention. This approach emphasizes education and skill-building to enhance the quality of care and support for individuals with Alzheimer's disease.12345
What data supports the effectiveness of the INTACT Program treatment for Alzheimer's disease?
The Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program (ADC Program) is a comprehensive care model that has been effective in providing care for Alzheimer's disease, and similar structured education and follow-up interventions have shown positive outcomes for both patients and caregivers. Additionally, programs that include multimodal interventions have demonstrated promise in supporting and improving the quality of life for individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.26789
