Alzheimer’s Research UK publish Wave 4 of the Dementia Attitudes Monitor
Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) has launched Wave 4 of the Dementia Attitudes Monitor.
The Dementia Attitudes Monitor is a biennial survey, first introduced in 2018, that tracks how people in the UK think and feel about dementia.
The survey asked over 2,000 people questions including:
- What do you think increases someone’s risk of dementia?
- How likely would you be to seek a formal diagnosis, and how comfortable would you be telling someone you have dementia?
- How effective do you believe current treatments are?
Findings include:
- One in two fear developing dementia more than any other condition.
- Attitudes to getting a dementia diagnosis vary by ethnicity and age.
- A cure for dementia remains the top research priority.
