We want to understand what the community in Northern BC know about dementia, its prevalence and its prevention. Participants should be resident in Northern BC and be over 18 years of age. We are hoping to learn what can be done to address the knowledge gaps in the community. We also hope to find out what we can do to address community-specific needs in our community. This project is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada\u2019s Dementia Strategy Fund.\r\n<h4><strong>Who can participate in the study? <\/strong><\/h4>\r\nParticipants should be resident in Northern BC and be over 18 years of age.\r\n<h4><strong>Procedures involved in the Research<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nAfter a brief introduction to the study and signing the consent form (given below), you will be asked a series of question on your understanding of aging and dementia. You are not expected to know any medical or detailed information about dementia. Rather, we are trying to understand your own ideas about aging and cognitive decline. The questions will be in the form of a survey with you agreeing or disagreeing to varying degrees.\r\n\r\nPlease note that the survey is submitted anonymously and cannot be withdrawn once you submit it. However, you can stop at any time during the survey and it will not be recorded.\r\n<h4><strong>Are there any risks to participating in this study?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nIt is not likely that there will be any harms or discomforts from\/associated with this study.\r\n\r\nYou do not need to answer questions that you do not want to answer or that make you feel uncomfortable.

I hope that what is learned as a result of this study will help us to better understand dementia awareness and help the community by developing dementia guidance that will be made available later.\r\n<h4><strong>Who will know what I said or did in the study?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nYour participation in the survey is completely anonymous, and no one can determine who provided the responses.\r\n<h4><strong>Security of data <\/strong><\/h4>\r\nWe are using Microsoft Forms from CNC server to collect surveys.
