The series aimed to increase knowledge, confidence, and public health action around dementia risk reduction across six virtual sessions, which featured a brief presentation followed by a case discussion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The evaluation sought to understand the ECHO's impact on public health professional practice and knowledge change regarding dementia risk reduction using a mixed-methods approach.

Overall, 70% of respondents said they would implement something they learned immediately or in the next 30 days. Increased recognition of and confidence to implement dementia risk reduction strategies can lead to improved health outcomes and more proactive measures being integrated into public health strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
