关于痴呆症的病因、预防、诊断、治疗和对生活影响的知识具有相对较高的不确定性。有护理经验的人和地位较高的群体对痴呆症的了解更多。知识越多的人越不可能相信痴呆症患者的生活质量很高，但倾向于对早期发现痴呆症不那么怀疑。为了增加知识，减少不确定性，改变对痴呆症和患有痴呆症的人的态度，应该考虑教育计划和基于接触的方法。
Knowledge about cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and life impact of dementia is characterized by a relatively high uncertainty. People with care experiences and people from higher status groups know more about dementia. People with more knowledge are less likely to believe that dementia patients have a high quality of life, but tend to be less skeptical about early detection of dementia.To increase knowledge, reduce uncertainty and modify attitudes towards dementia and those who are afflicted, educational programs and contact-based approaches should be considered.
