Effectiveness of a Telephonic Aging Brain Care Model for Medicaid Home and Community Services for Dementia Patients and Their Caregivers.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe primary purpose of the present study was the implementation and evaluation of the ABC Community program, a community-based and telephonically administered version of the Aging Brain Care model delivered by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) staff.
designThis study employed a prospective pre-post implementation design with pre-specified effectiveness and fidelity goals, with the main outcome measure being the total score of the Health Aging Brain Care (HABC) Monitor at 3- and 6-month follow-up. The HABC Monitor has demonstrated excellent reliability and validity in monitoring and measuring the burden of dementia symptoms and the quality of life and stress of the informal caregivers.
resultsThe program served 422 Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services participants living with dementia and their caregivers. Participants' mean age was 78 years, with 67% identifying as female and 30% as belonging to minority groups, including 6% Hispanic or Latino and 28% Black or African American. In comparison to baseline, the total score of the HABC Monitor decreased from 24.6 to 15.4 at 6 months, representing a 37% reduction with an effect size of 0.64 standard deviation (p value < 0.001). Approximately 46% of informal caregivers who had at least mild burden at baseline had no such burden at 6 months, and 92% of those who had no stress at baseline remained burden-free at 6 months.
conclusionThe ABC community program might be a scalable collaborative dementia care model targeting socially vulnerable people living with dementia.
