  1. Legend: Numbers of patient medical records that showed evidence within the 6-month study timeframe of addressing key topics important for dementia care derived from subcomponents of CRESCENT training based on CareEco protocols [11]. Numbers of records with documentation of dementia care topics was compared between patients treated by NCMs who received training and those in the control group
  2. Bolded values with a represent a significant difference between groups in whether the topic was addressed
