Views on ageing

This research project looks at views of ageing in carers of people living with dementia and non-carers (i.e., never been carers for a person with dementia). 

We will look at differences between groups and which caring-related factors (e.g., hours of care provided per day, years of caring, dementia diagnostic subtype) may explain differences. 

The research team is seeking people who are carers (currently caring for a person living with dementia) and non-carers (people who aren't and who have never cared for a person living with dementia).

People who meet the following criteria may be eligible to participate in the online survey. 

Carers:

• Are the primary (unpaid) carer of a person with a clinical diagnosis of dementia (any type) living at home.
• Speak English and live in Australia.
• Have access to stable internet and a working email address.
   

Non-carers:

• Have never provided unpaid or paid care to a person with a clinical diagnosis of dementia nor to older people with other types of chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.
• Speak English and live in Australia.
• Have access to stable internet and a working email address.
