2. KADeLu

The KADeLu (Public knowledge and Attitudes towards Dementia in Luxembourg) study led by Prof Anna Kornadt and Dr Isabelle Tournier aims at having a better comprehension of the knowledge and attitudes about dementia within the general public in Luxembourg. To grasp these dimensions, the researchers developed a questionnaire focusing on people aged 18 years and over living and/or working in Luxembourg.

Through this questionnaire, the researchers hope to better understand the fear of dementia but also the perceived facilitators to receive an early diagnosis. The results of the questionnaire will offer a clearer understanding of how several aspects of dementia attitudes are linked together. It will also indicate how to positively influence knowledge about dementia and early diagnosis without provoking excessive and counterproductive fear about it. Finally, it will provide valuable and unprecedented insights to orientate and evaluate dementia-related national actions in Luxembourg.
