Canadian caregivers’ perspectives on the pharmacological management of BPSD

What is this Study about?

The objective of this study is to better understand caregivers’ perspectives regarding the pharmacological management of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). While current recommendations are largely based on the opinions of healthcare professionals and experts, the viewpoint of caregivers remains underexplored. By better understanding their experience, we hope to contribute to improved guidelines and care for individuals with neurocognitive disorders. 

What Will Happen in This Study?

Participants are invited to complete an online survey about their experiences and perspectives as caregivers. The survey, accessible on the LimeSurvey platform, will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
