      abstract     = {To describe a study protocol for a survey study in German
                      nursing homes that (1) plans to enhance a typology of care
                      units (2) and investigates the association between different
                      care unit types and the provision of dementia-specific
                      interventions based on a stratified randomized sample.Many
                      nursing homes in Germany provide Dementia Special Care
                      Units. Existing definitions often do no justice to the
                      complexity of their context. In this study, we define
                      context as structural and organizational variables. It is
                      necessary to define an empirical based set of indicators to
                      characterize care units with respect to dementia
                      care.Observational survey study with a cross-sectional
                      design.We will use a stratified random nationwide sample of
                      160 German nursing homes. Stratification variables are
                      federal state and the existence of a Dementia Special Care
                      Unit. The sampling frame from which the participating
                      nursing homes are selected is a list with the total
                      population of German nursing homes (n = 11.658). Data will
                      be gathered on the level of the nursing homes and one of
                      their care units via computer-assisted telephone interviews
                      with a standardized questionnaire. The distribution of the
                      assessed variables (contextual characteristics) will be
                      described in absolute and relative frequencies for the whole
                      sample in the first step in order to describe
                      dementia-specific care structures. In the second step,
                      factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD) with hierarchical
                      clustering (HC) will be applied to analyze relationships
                      between variables. The study was ethically approved in
                      October 2018.The typology can be used in future studies to
                      define the context of care units in nursing homes. This may
                      improve the interpretation of findings from future studies
                      that investigated interventions in nursing homes.The
                      typology will visualize and describe the complexity of
                      contextual characteristics of several care units.},
