The dementia knowledge and beliefs of persons from Italian, Greek and Chinese backgrounds will be compared to third generation Australians. Five hundred persons from each group will be randomly selected from around Australia to be surveyed by telephone. Questions will assess whether dementia symptoms are recognised, what these persons think causes dementia, where they would go for help, how likely they are to use aged care services and stigma towards persons with dementia. Focus groups will be conducted to identify barriers to service use and identify methods to improve dementia knowledge in Italian, Greek and Chinese groups. This information will be used to improve community education and service delivery for persons with dementia from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The Primary Dementia Collaborative Research Centre at the University of NSW, NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service and Alzheimer’s Australia are partners in this research.

来自意大利、希腊和中国背景的人的痴呆症知识和信仰将与第三代澳大利亚人进行比较。每组将从澳大利亚各地随机抽取500人进行电话调查。问题将评估痴呆症症状是否被识别，这些人认为是什么导致了痴呆症，他们会去哪里寻求帮助，他们使用老年护理服务的可能性有多大，以及对痴呆症患者的耻辱感。将开展焦点小组，以确定服务使用的障碍，并确定提高意大利、希腊和中国群体痴呆症知识的方法。这些信息将用于改善社区教育和为来自不同文化和语言背景的痴呆症患者提供服务。新南威尔士州大学的原发性痴呆症合作研究中心、新南威尔士州多元文化健康交流服务中心和澳大利亚阿尔茨海默氏症协会是这项研究的合作伙伴。
