Caregiver experiences with feeding issues in adults with dementia
The study is investigating two things. First, the eating and drinking problems that some people living with dementia can have. Second, how their carers cope with these problems. Our longer-term aim is help other carers better cope with these issues by developing carer resources for evaluation in a future study.
This study has been approved by the Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee - approval no. 520241747159319

Participation details:
Participants will be asked

- questions about the body weight of the person they care for
