Examining Knowledge of Risk Factors for Dementia Among Adults in Canada
What is this Study about?
The goal of this study is to assess what adults living in Canada know about risk factors for dementia, and whether this knowledge differs across demographic groups (e.g., age, sex, ethnicity, education levels). This information will be used to develop appropriate campaigns to educate the public about risk factors for dementia, with the ultimate goal of reducing rates of dementia.
What Will Happen in This Study?
The study involves completing a short online survey about risk factors for dementia. Participants will also be asked some information about their background (e.g., age, sex, education level, etc.). The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. After participants complete the survey, they will receive tips on how to reduce their chances of developing dementia.
