Assessing the Current Resources Available to Caregivers/Care Partners for Persons Living with Young Onset Dementia

What is this Study about?

The objective of this study is to understand: (1) what community-based interventions caregivers/care partners for persons living with young onset dementia (i.e., dementia diagnosed under the age of 65) are accessing across Southern Ontario; (2) caregivers/care partners perceptions towards the community-based interventions they have accessed; and (3) the reasons, if any, for not accessing community-based interventions.

The results of this study will be used to help inform the development and enhancement of community-based interventions for persons living with YOD and their caregivers/care partners, and is a part of my PhD dissertation.
