Our research team will co-create guidelines that address the risks and benefits of social media use in dementia research. Our goal is to help researchers and participants connect on social media in a way that is ethical and beneficial for all.
Why is this research important?
Dementia research is still receiving limited engagement and low enrolment numbers, especially in diverse populations. Social media offers new ways to overcome geographical and financial barriers and can increase awareness of important dementia research.
The aim of this research study is to co-create practical guidelines for researchers using social media in prevention trials.
We are recruiting!
