Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
\*\*This funding mechanism sponsored two parallel trials with different implementation strategies. In this trial, nursing home staff identify the music a resident with dementia may have preferred when s/he was young by asking family members and testing individual songs with the resident. Details of the second parallel trial conducted under this funding mechanism are registered under "R33AG057451\_part2."\*\*
The aims of this study are: 1. To use a train-the-trainer model to implement the intervention with ongoing monitoring of the program's adoption and acceptance by nursing home residents with dementia; 2. To estimate the impact of Music and Memory on agitated and aggressive behaviors; and 3. To examine factors associated with variation in providers' adherence to the implementation of Music and Memory.
