Our annual research update is available

Research is key to changing the present and future for people affected by dementia.

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is committed to fostering a vibrant dementia research community here in B.C. As part of this work, the Society produces A Focus on Research, an annual research publication.

This publication summarizes the biggest developments in dementia research, both locally and internationally, over the past year and helps to bridge research and the community. It’s a great resource for anyone interested in dementia research, whether they are living with dementia, a caregiver, a health care provider, a student or an interested member of the public.

Topics in this year’s A Focus on Research include:

• Tips on how to effectively read about research and navigate headlines.
• The biggest dementia research news stories of the year.
• A spotlight on quality-of-life research here in B.C.
• A profile of dementia researcher Elyn Rowe.
• The how and why of participating in research.
