You can make a difference in how we understand the health care workforce who cares for people living with dementia across the United States.
The National Dementia Workforce Study, sponsored by the National Institute on Aging of the NIH, is conducting surveys of community clinicians, and staff and administrators in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home care agencies.
The key purpose of this national study is to learn more about the workforce, including your needs and how to better support you. To do that, NDWS needs your help. Surveys are currently underway and will continue annually through 2028.
We encourage you to participate if you are invited. Help NDWS understand the challenges you face and ultimately contribute to research that will help health care organizations, clinicians, and workers improve retention, target training, and improve outcomes.
NDWS is led by investigators at the University of Michigan, the University of California, San Francisco, and other university and non-profit partners. The Alzheimer’s Association is also collaborating and welcomes your participation. Learn more at
