Abstrakt: This work describes the results and lessons learned from a community-academic partnership to research the effect of training on the capacity of rural home care aides to care for older persons with dementia. The research study increased the aides' knowledge of Alzheimer's and related disorders and, for one group, the aides' satisfaction. The authors used content analysis to identify barriers and facilitators of success of the research partnership. These factors are discussed and placed within a framework of innovation concepts. Key words: Alzheimer's disease, community services, innovation, research partnerships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
