Introduction

This award aims to support Sahdia to focus on dementia prevention and living well with dementia in minority ethnic communities.

Methods

Sahdia will engage in a programme of research training to enhance their specialist knowledge in the topic area of risk prevention and draw together an inter-disciplinary network of expertise in this area by:

  • undertaking a series of workshops with the public and experts by experience to co-produce research questions and refine methods, and
  • use this to prepare a future funding bid targeting dementia risk reduction in minority ethnic populations and promotion of healthy lifestyles in those affected by dementia.
