Agitation and Aggression in Long-Term Care Residents with Dementia

The Newfoundland & Labrador Centre for Applied Health Research coordinates the Contextualized Health Research Synthesis Program (CHRSP) which aims to assist clinicians to be able to use existing scientific evidence and research in clinical practice and healthcare decision making by synthesis and knowledge translation of multiple sources into a succinct but comprehensive description of various health and healthcare systems related topics.

In November 2014, CHRSP released a publication of their Evidence in Context series on Agitation and Aggression in Long-term Care Residents with Dementia in Newfoundland and Laborador. This document is organized into lists and descriptions of interventions with the highest level of evidence to interventions that are not supported in the scientific literature at present.
