The complications associated with dementia are among the leading causes of death for older adults, impacting over 5.8 million people in the United States. It is on the incline and is expected to double, affecting 13.9 million people by 2060. This has a severe impact on older adults, their families, and the overall community. Increasing awareness and education for dementia can aid in furthering community support while increasing empathy towards individuals with dementia. Community programs and interventions have been utilized in the past to assist in increasing awareness for other mental health disorders, diseases, and for marginalized/ vulnerable groups of people. One method is through utilizing these means of community outreach and awareness interventions. Implementing interventions such as virtual reality simulations of dementia symptoms as well as educational/ empathy building techniques like Feil Validation theory have been used in the past to assist in increasing health professional awareness and empathy for dementia. However, these forms of interventions have not been used significantly with community members outside of those in the health profession who interact with individuals with dementia more consistently in cafes, restaurants, and other common community settings. The purpose of this study is to examine pretest attitudes towards dementia with community employee participants, provide an intervention through a virtual reality experience of dementia accompanied with Validation training to participants, to allow participants an opportunity to implement/ interact with caregivers and those diagnosed with dementia, and to measure posttest attitudes about ADRD (Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia).
