青年痴呆症占痴呆症诊断的十分之一。那些被诊断出的人面临着过早地过渡到老年护理服务领域，并在65岁之前适应老龄化疾病。为了帮助了解这一群体的社会心理需求，提供一个平台，以获得同伴的支持，并倡导提高认识，在社交网站FacebookTM上成立了青年痴呆症支持小组。关注者发表评论，阅读教育或其他有趣的新闻提要，分享鼓舞人心的报价，并访问世界各地的痴呆症患者。Facebook提供了一种快速全球覆盖的方式，使痴呆症患者能够增加他们的沟通，并可能减少孤立。本文由页面管理员撰写。我们的目标是强调一个社交网络平台的有前途的实用程序，刚刚进入健康传播举措之间的步伐。
Young onset dementia accounts for up to 1 in 10 dementia diagnoses. Those diagnosed face premature transition into the realm of aged care services and adjustment to an illness of ageing prior to age 65. To help elicit communication of the perceived psychosocial needs of this group, provide a platform to gain peer support and advocate for increased awareness, the Young Onset Dementia Support Group was established on the social networking site, FacebookTM. Followers post comments, read educational or otherwise interesting news feeds, share inspirational quotes and access others living with dementia worldwide. Facebook provides a means of rapid global reach in a way that allows people with dementia to increase their communications and potentially reduce isolation. This paper was authored by the page administrators. We aim to highlight the promising utility of a social network platform just entering its stride amongst health communication initiatives.
