    Identifying Research Priorities for Frailty and Dementia: Results from an International Stakeholder Survey

    What is this Study about?

    In the past, frailty and dementia were treated as distinct entities; however, it is now recognized that they share a complex relationship. As a result, there is an urgent need for the joint investigation of frailty and dementia. Our survey aims to bring together perspectives from stakeholders worldwide who share an interest in frailty and dementia. We are collecting data over the next several months, via various promotional "waves." Once we reach adequate participation and thematic saturation, we anticipate that data analysis and knowledge dissemination will take approximately six months.

    Eligibility Criteria

    • You are 18 years of age or older.
    • You have an interest in frailty and dementia.
    • This includes researchers, healthcare professionals, policy and decision-makers, older adults, care partners, advocates, and others with relevant interest or experience.
    • You speak English.
