Participants wanted for study exploring safe social media use for people with dementia  

ByJDCteam

A study being led by Dr Catherine Talbot at Bournemouth University is looking to develop resources to support people with dementia and their carers to use social media safely and effectively. 

Participants are wanted who are living with early-stage dementia and/or unpaid carers, regardless of whether they use social media or not. There is a prize draw for participants who have completed the survey. 

The survey is aiming to gather information about the format, content and delivery of future social media training and resources for people with dementia and their carers.
