This study evaluated the knowledge of Community Health Agents (CHAs) about dementia before and after a training workshop. The workshop aimed to improve their ability to detect signs of the disease. Results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after the workshop. Continued education for CHAs is essential for early detection of dementia cases in primary care. The findings suggest the need for similar training programs for healthcare professionals nationwide to enhance dementia awareness and detection.
