IDASA 2: Dementia Training Evaluation Data from South Asia

Bangladesh, India, and Nepal are the focus of this dataset evaluating a tailored dementia education programme for clinicians. The 7.6 KB CSV file contains evaluation data from the IDASA project, authored by Sanjib Saha and last updated in May 2026. The programme aimed to improve diagnosis and care by adapting training to local language, culture, and health-system constraints.

Use Cases

• Evaluating clinician confidence changes based on pre- and post-training assessments.
• Analyzing improvements in dementia recognition and management following tailored education.
• Studying the development of dementia advocacy and leadership among trained clinicians.
• Assessing the cascading impact of knowledge transfer within local health systems.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse.
• Focuses on three specific countries: Bangladesh, India, and Nepal.
• Evaluation targets a concrete intervention: a tailored dementia education programme.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 7.6 KB file size indicates a very small dataset with limited scope.
