Surveys administered at pre\u2010training (T1), post\u2010training (T2), and 10\u2010month follow\u2010up (T3; Group 1 only) assessed knowledge, attitudes and confidence towards dementia and dementia rehabilitation.

In Group 1, improvements in attitudes towards dementia and confidence in rehabilitation were sustained at T3, but knowledge and attitudes towards dementia rehabilitation declined from T2 to T3.
