How can we effectively reduce the risk of dementia?
Dementia Education
Develop a Dementia Risk Reduction Product
Why?
Public health crisis
Leading killer of women in Aus
Second killer in Aus
Where?
Regional Aus (marginalised pop)
Inner Regional
Sunshine Coast
Maroochydore
Nambour
Birtinya
Outer Regional
Kilvivan
Gomeeri
How?
Collaboration/Participatory Design
Have older adults design a DRRE product for their local community (FG)
Focus Group Guide Questions
Setup structure: name, length, time, product type, delivery method
MRF Rankings
OA's perception of the MRF
Dementia Friendliness Communities: OA's perception of MRF for their community
Survey Regional Australia
Dementia knowledge/literacy
Health information acquisition
Dementia perception/awareness/worries
Interest in a DRRE product
Modifiable Risk Factors
Behavioural habits that affect dementia
External/Environmental factors that affect dementia
DKAS
Lifestyle habits related to dementia risk
CogsDrisk
Dementia attitude
DAS
StepUp for Dementia Research(?)
OA's Review/Assess DRRE product - get feedback
Establish relationships with local community care services
Who?

How can reduce the risk of dementia in older adults?
Dementia Education
Lack of dissemination: health information/resources
Dementia misinformation
Dementia education around risk reduction
Modifiable risk factors
Focuses on just one or the "most popular" type of dementia
Majority of education is towards family/caregivers
Regional, Rural, and Remote Older Adults in AUS
Marginalised population
Lack of dementia knowledge and education
76.5% think AD is normal
76% think nothing can be done about getting dementia
Poorer health outcomes
80% greater risk of late-life CI/dementia
Reduced life expectancy of up to 12 years (vs. metropolitan areas)
Lower health services
geographical isolation, limited health-care resources, reduced financial support
Acute health crisis > preventative health behaviours
Collaboration/Participatory Design
Bottom-up approach
Involvement of End-users/Stakeholders
Ownership/Empowerment
Customised/Tailored care

Growing number of older adults in AUS
WHO: Global action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025 plan
Dementia risk reduction: provide evidence-based interventions to inform the general public about the management of MRF that are shared with other noncommunicable diseases to minimise and/or reduce the progression of dementia.
What do OA's know already about dementia?
What do OA's want to know about dementia?
How do they want this information presented to them?
